I was not suggesting that openssl maintain their apparently messy code; they're maintaining it already, for whatever the remaining period is. i'm suggesting a port with a v1 client; that is built with all the other binary ports for abi changes and whatever else is reasonable. yes, i can build my own, but i feel it should be a port. I appreciate the putty suggestion, but it appears to be graphical only. Happy to have it pointed-out that I've missed a port having v1. i also understand the devote position of buy new equipment to advance security; its simply not going to happen anytime soon. and i'm not alone. i'm not rich, i don't crontrol depreciation schedules, etc etc.
