I would certainly be interested in seeing the source. The latest
source I have found is on netlab and is dated 1997. The beta10
of MSKERMIT is from April 2001. Is the source of the latest beta
available publically?
OpenSSL has been ported to DOS and the latest 0.9.7a compiles under
DJGPP out of the box, but is dependent on the WATT-32 networking
library. SSHDOS is also available for DOS (does not use OpenSSL)
(sshdos.sourceforge.net). Perhaps one of these can be used as a
starting point for anyone who wants to add a secure layer to MSKERMIT.
I am not sure how much licensing conflicts will add to technical
problems involved.
