Hello Charles,

Actually, yes :-)

Yes. Fetch 'openssl' windows binary from

http://www.ritlabs.com/ftp/pub/the_bat/beta/openssl.rar

Extract it, open a command line, go to the directory where you stored
openssl.exe plus the two dlls and call

openssl s_client -host <your.isp.com> -port 995

, cancel the connection with <Ctrl>+C and have a look at the output.

Near the end there are some lines:

New, <Protocols>, Cipher is <Cipher>
Server public key is xx bit
SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : <Protocol>
    Cipher    : <Cipher>
    Session-ID: .....

You'll see the highest possible protocol the server is capable.

My local tests let me assume TheBat! is only capable using TLS1, but
I'm not sure yet. If your server does not access TLS I think you
should talk to your ISP upgrading to a newer CommuniGate version, the
data sheet I've just downloaded from Stalkers website propagates it is
capable of TLS ....

HTH Pit
