   alternatice command is   
      
   node 2:221/6 -pipe "ncat --ssl-alpn binkp *H *I" news.fidonet.fi:24567   
      
   The alpn stuff is only needed if the server demands it (e.g when running   
   webserver, xmpp server, binkp on port 443). I use "ncat --ssl-alpn binkp H*   
   I*", because "ncat --ssl H* I*" invokes ncat with the port number "I*" instead   
   of the real port number. I guess this is a bug in binkd. Some problem with   
   parsing the -pipe parameter?   
      
   I wonder, if we should directly jump to QUIC instead of implementing TLS over   
   TCP?
