Re: [NTLK] SSL or SSH for Newton?

The question is asked from time to time and the given answer is
generally that you can't run SSH on the Newton because its not a
POSIX compliant OS. However, I don't understand how that is a
requirement for an SSH *CLIENT* which is what would be the most
benefit anyway since I can't think of a reason to SSH into my Newton
but can think of many things I want to SSH into from my Newton.

SSL would also be very cool but I can't speak to that.
