Are there any known servers online that offer X.509 (or PGP) mechanisms in
their handshake?  Both ssh.com and VanDyke are commercial offerings so it's
not possible to look at the source code to see what they do, and I'm not sure
that I want to run the gauntlet of getting some sample copy of a commercial
app (if they're available) and figuring out how to set it up to work with
certs just to see what the data format is supposed to be...
