This works okay for me.

Here are some ideas. What system are you operating from? You didn't say. It is an xterm so I might assume some generic GNU/Linux system. How up to date is it? The error reminds me of other errors I have seen when the client system is old enough that it only supports SSLv3 connecting to a web server that no longer supports SSLv3 anymore. Looking at the handshake connecting to it I see that it only supports TLS v1.1 and v1.2. I am rather expect that your client might not be supporting one of those two protocols. Bob
