You set up the ssh on the win95 machine to tunnel connections it receives on the pop3 port to the ssh program on the POP server. The ssh program on the POP server is told to pass on all data to localhost:pop3. You tell the POP client to connect to localhost:pop3. That connects Eudora (say) to DOS ssh which encrypts all traffic and sends it accros the network to the ssh program on the POP server which decrypts it and sends it to the POP server...thus no unencrypted traffic goes across the network.
