Hello,

For me to start using inetutils-telnet, I'd first need it to support SSL
connections, as it's a feature I use quite a lot in the bsd telnet-ssl
package.

Thanks,
Jordi

Hi there!

I got this feature request through the Debian BTS.

I bet the BSD telnet-ssl uses libssl so we can't simply steal the code
they non-copylefted for us [1].. shouldn't be hard to hack gtelnet for using
gnutls though. Any takers?

Jordi: benvingut :)

[1] libssl has advertising clausse

Hi there,

AFAICS, this ended up never happening. However, someone else worked on a set
of patches that, supposedly, implement this: more info at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=143559 , if you wish to take a
look.

Best regards,
