OK, I'll have a go at this once I get the pieces together.

 Ol> node 5:4/3@fidonet -pipe "ncat --ssl-alpn binkp *H *I"
 Ol> hostname:24553 - or
 Ol> node 5:4/3@fidonet -pipe "ncat --ssl hostname 24553"

This can be used to connect securely to a binkd mailer listening
securely?

It'll take me a bit. I have a few minutes here and a few minutes there
before I need to be on my way but I'll get there.. :)
