   fTelnet should be responding to a SENDLOC request which allows Mystic to get   
   the non-proxied IP address of the user.  This is either not working or Mystic   
   is accidentally not using that IP for web downloads which is highly possible.   
      
   If we can't get that working then I think the trusted proxy IP option is   
   probably the way to go.  I'll try to take a look at that tonight.

   The web server does support HTTPS but there was a delay when negotiating   
   connections with CryptLib.  I couldn't figure out why at the time so if memory   
   serves me, I disabled SSL and never came back to it.   
      
   It is technically possible to import a CA signed cert for the BBS but Cryptlib   
   doesn't have tools to import standard certificate formats (from what I   
   remember) into their proprietary keystore.   
      
   I would like to switch to OpenSSL instead because CryptLib has been annoying   
   to work with for me, and that could simplify much of this stuff.  The problem   
   is that I don't believe OpenSSL supports a SSH server which would be something   
   we need to figure out first.
