Hmm, this maybe means that s_client tries to negotiate SSLv3 but the
server does not have or allow it.

Try fiddling with the following options of openssl s_client:
 -ssl2         - just use SSLv2
 -ssl3         - just use SSLv3
 -tls1         - just use TLSv1
 -no_tls1/-no_ssl3/-no_ssl2 - turn off that protocol

You have to define somewhere on your server side which SSL versions
are accepted. Please keep us informed. I'm very much interested in
seeing a SSL server example. (I'm currently using M2Crypto for
that.)

Ciao, Michael.
