Ulric,

I am new to stunnel and trying to get stunnel to work with hobbit client and 
server.
A few questions here.

1. So basically I can configure a hobbit/bb(using same port) server to both 
accept either encrypted
  bb messages or plain one, correct ?

2.   I can use tcp-wrapper to restrict only the hobbit server itself can 
connect to itself to lock down
     plain bb message connection from public, correct ?

3. I got 4.20 stunnel  compiled and configured, but the examples on 
stunnel.org is for older version which accept "-c" kind of options. I am 
having  problem to really redirect the bb message from a bb client using 
port 1999 to remote hb server which accepting 1999 (then redirect to local 
1984).

I don't know what other stops I need to to fill the following url.
