Hello Phillip,

 PJ> What is TLS and what is different about it from what we are using
 PJ> today with the standard Binkd config?

TLS is Transport Layer Security. It is the successor to SSL. When you use a 
secure https:// website you are using TLS. It is used for security and privacy.

 PJ> If your a hub why would you force your clients to use it? Some of us
 PJ> are using some really old operating systems.

I don't think anyone is forcing anything. You can connect to my node as always 
on port 24554 or using TLS on port 24553.

 Ttyl :-),
