Let me first just say something regarding your admins' statement.

I find this statement hilarious. "it opens up unsure telnet and other access
methods directly to our servers"? I don't think these guys spent very many
minutes on their review of curl.

More and more people are asking me this, and I can only point to the tiny
list that I have: http://curl.haxx.se/support.html

If you who read this run a company, works for a company or know a company
that would fit into this list. Please mail curl-web_at_haxx.se with all the
details and we'll make the list bigger.

Good luck!
