It was an obfuscated name,  out of habit.  

gnutls seems to like the cert, though it would not connect on 993, resorted to 443.
I can post the output if you think it of any value.

It appears to be an intermittent problem, I suspect maybe the other end is doing some 
load sharing or updating.  

In any event I will try to update soon as I can.

Thanks for the assistance.
