News from the BetaZone

The eComStation BetaZone (http://betazone.ecomstation.com - access via your profile page)
features some new and updated projects:

STunnel:
The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote servers. The goal is to facilitate SSL encryption and authentication for non-SSL-aware programs.
Stunnel can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP-2, POP-3 and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code.

This version now is compiled for the eComStation and OS/2 platform, using native threads. This improves performance dramtically!
