SSL compliant IRCd's?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Seeing that usual "MS sucks" debate above with no real purpose, I got to thinking.. SSL supporting IRC servers have been around for a very long time now. There are a couple of implementations, and a few more private implementations.. some of which use an SSL tunnel on both ends (client and server) in order to get it working. I haven't looked into this in many years, ever since I tried and help start one of the very first SSL'd IRC networks (suidnet, I think the website is still up), nor do I use IRC much anymore. Anyone has any details regarding current useful IRCd + SSL implementations they can recommend? I'd appreciate any input. One worry I always have when encryption is involved, especially in a "place" such as the IRC, where user-errors and mistakes can be paramount and critical to security is that when using any kind of encryption, people generally feel "safe" and "secure". Encryption, psychologically and sociologically speaking can be very dangerous. Just my $0.02. Thanks again for your input and comments, I am looking forward to trying some new daemons.
