Also note that one of the hard parts of SSL with PCOMM is self-signed
certs.  You need to send a copy of the public key to each user of PCOMM and
import the certificate.  If you're using a better TN3270 client, like Vista
TN3270, you won't have this problem.  At least that what I remember when I
wandered down that rabbit hole about 5 years ago.
