I'm getting real close here.  The TLS handshake is now successful with 
beta5.  However, when the client's connection is initiated, a bunch of:

Mon Jun 14 23:38:43 2004 TLS Error: Unknown data channel key ID or IP 
address re
ceived from ip.address.of.server:port: 0 (see FAQ for more info on this 
error)

...messages are displayed; but it is sporadic -- it only happens ~50% of 
the time.  The FAQ seems to imply that this is a server-only message, 
but in my case, it's only appearing on the client.

Q: Is is mandatory that each client use unique certificate in server mode?

FYI, when installing beta5 on an additional client, the installer 
reported that "An error occurred installing the TAP-Win32 device 
driver." <http://pavelec.net/s/?PBNSW8MS>, although everything seemed to 
work fine afterwards.  The machine was rebooted after uninstalling 
beta4, and after installing beta5.
