Hi All,

I've been playing around with hpt & binkd on both linux & windows.  I found a

helpful thread where Oli provided some info on how to make outbound
connections via TLS with binkd & opensll (thanks Oli!):

http://web.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=binkd&thread=7199

node 1:229/664 -pipe "openssl s_client -quiet -alpn binkp -connect *H:*I"
bbs.nrbbs.net:24553

This works great on linux but not on my Telegard system under windows:

C:\TELEGARD\BINKD>binkd -vpP 1:229/664 binkd.ini
  17:02 [3540] BEGIN standalone, binkd/1.1a-115/Win32 -vpP 1:229/664
binkd.ini
  17:02 [3540] creating a poll for 1:229/664@fidonet (`d' flavour)
  17:02 [3540] clientmgr started
$ -d 1:229/664@fidonet
+ 17:02 [5900] call to 1:229/664@fidonet

And it just stops there.  In order to be able to poll again I have to go and
clean up the outbound directory otherwise it just says "outbound queue is
empty" and won't even try.

Yet I have opensll installed and included in the path:

C:\TELEGARD\BINKD>openssl s_client -quiet -alpn binkp -connect
bbs.nrbbs.net:24553
depth=0 CN = bbs.nrbbs.net
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
verify return:1
depth=0 CN = bbs.nrbbs.net
verify return:1

Under linux it works:

jay@husky:~/fido/binkd$ binkd -vpP 1:229/664 binkd.cfg
  17:06 [148136] BEGIN, binkd/1.1a-115/Linux -vpP 1:229/664 binkd.cfg

[...]

Under windows it never gets to the "External command" part.  Anyone have any
ideas?
