limited intrest of make binkd better with openssl, it will break old front ends but changes can be ported to make it more secure then plain passwords, i remember amiga trapdoor support emsi and last one iemsi aswell so bbs login was automatic, only xenolink and if i remember it all zeus have stealed it from xenolink :)

linux based front ends that support emsi or iemsi ?

only one i know is qico that support emsi, but i dont know any that have iemsi, maybe mysticbbs ?
