  Hmmm... I am afraid it isn't possible, because there are W95
workstations. Or is there anything to support this which is reasonably
simple and will rewrite windows sockets into that kind of
communication. As I said before the most simple way is to have something
like proxy (better say client) which connects onto gate through SSL (I
just need in fact pop and http and don't care about the rest (reason is
simple these are official kind of communication needed for our
organization). I now that my network is untrusted because of those Windows
everwhere where you can install DCAP or what is it called and sniff and
students are taking notebooks and so ;).

p.s. I hope I would be able to code it but I just needed to know that
noone knows any simpler solution.
