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.
