And, what did your researches tell you that they said?
I find:

attempted to port Mindterm, gave up.

Newt's Cape author calls SSL porting "a bit ambitious".
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=newtontalk&m=106869929124813&w=2
NewtChat author declines to attempt the port.

Eckhart compares porting SSL to rewriting NIE.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=newtontalk&m=108340936417573&w=2
Eckhart says SSL wouldn't be able to use standard NIE
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=newtontalk&m=108340991130281&w=2
Eckhart expands on above.
There's more, too, but mostly it's developers saying "If someone makes
SSL work, I'd be happy to incorporate it, but I've got more productive
things to do" and non-developers saying "But it'd be REALLY GREAT if
someone would do it."

groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them
disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately call
for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner. --Overlord
