the problem is that no one is able (time, knowledge, etc..) to
implement a new ssh client for the newton (porting an existing or
using code from an existing is not possible because most existing use
POSIX features.)
but what about putty for symbian? does symbian-os has posix features?

unfortunately i am not a programmer - i can't say a lot about
this. but since ssl is "just" a library i guess it should be possible,
but i guess paul is right in his posting...
