Is it only for 11i?

As noted in a previous posting, C-Kermit (which is part of HP-UX) includes
an SSL-enabled FTP client:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpclient.html
But HP is distributing a non-secure (and slightly dated) version of
C-Kermit, 8.0.200 instead of 8.0.206, built without the SSL/TLS modules.
If somebody has OpenSSL installed on HP-UX (any version) and the ANSI C
compiler and would like to try building a secure version of C-Kermit, please
contact me. It should be just a matter of putting together a new makefile
target for HP-UX based on the SSL-enabled ones for (e.g.) Solaris, AIX,
Linux, etc -- i.e. adding a couple CFLAGS and linking with a couple extra
libraries.
We can't distribute SSL-enabled binaries (due to USA export law) but we
can (and do) distribute source code, so we should at least have a working
SSL target for HP-UX.
