As for Telnet over SSL, which are you implementing:

. Tim Hudson's hack (AUTH SSL)

. The IETF's START_TLS

?

Tim Hudson's hack does not prevent man in the middle attacks and
requires that user's submit their passwords to the server (which may
or may not have been compromised.)  The START_TLS protocol is the
preferred method to implement.

I have a START_TLS implementation and would love to help you with
things if only I could.  But as a U.S. citizen ....
