[bug-inetutils] Fwd: Bug#207419: SSL support

[Robert Millan]

Hi there!

I got this feature request through the Debian BTS.

I bet the BSD telnet-ssl uses libssl so we can't simply steal the code
they non-copylefted for us [1].. shouldn't be hard to hack gtelnet for using
gnutls though. Any takers?

Jordi: benvingut :)

[1] libssl has advertising clausse
