+5) SSL Support
+If you would like connections between your server and the MRC server to be
+secure, you can enable SSL as follows:
+
+   edit mrc-connector.ini and make these changes in the upper global section:
+
+   change port from 5000 to 5001
+   add ssl=true
+
+Then recycle services with touch /sbbs/ctrl/services.recycle or use your windows
+control panel. Client to local server connections are not yet encrypted but that
+shouldn't be difficult. Once connected to MRC you can type /BBSES and you should
+see "Yes" next to your BBS in the SSL column.
