Well, since this was a secure connection test, needed openssl for the 
connect, not telnet.  And how to do that on Windows?  I DID try it on 
this F20 notebook, and of course it worked just fine.  That was why I 
really suspected Windows TLS functions.  Then when I was trying again, I 
caught a little pop up in the system tray saying how the nanny software 
was blocking the bad program that was trying to do https to port 995...

I really should be so harsh about the nanny software.  It DOES protect a 
lot of families from content they do not want to see. Just that the 
defaults no longer match where we want internet privacy to go.
