> I was just wondering about the current state of your ICS/SSL effort.
Almost finished. You have TCP client and server, HTTPS client and server,
FTPS client and server, SMTPS client, NNTPS client.

Those imposed by OpenSSL.
> It it ready for production use?
Yes, it is.
> Can I do certificate-based authentication for both sides of the link?
Yes you can.

card?
Never tried. But ICS-SSL make use of original OpenSSL DLL. No special build
required so I guess that any accelerator using standard OpenSSL will work
untouched.

Yes. There is no fee to distribute your application. As you noted, you can't
distribute the source code. If you customer need the source code, they will
have to pay their own contribution. Not a big deal !
