Thanks Tom,
Another question...
Does the SSL Server have to be a standalone or can it be a service that will run with what ever else exists on the server?
Can I have two machines communicate with each other encrypting the data transmitted between them? Or a network of machines from cross platforms?
Thanks for your time Tom.

Yes. OpenSSL can be added to any application to act
as a server _or_ a client. (really, the web browser is just
an application which uses its own SSL library to communicate
by the SSL protocol). You can write your own client
application which calls SSL_connect() to connect with
an SSL-enabled server.
