Solved: Vista is disabling SSL support in Xnews through Stunnel
My ISP and news service haven't changed and I imported all the files and setting into Vista just as they were in XP. Xnews has no registry entries so that is one thing not to worry about. I installed the latest version of stunnel and made sure the settings were the same as in my other two OS (both XP). I have never needed to install certificates and am hoping that is not the problem. Stunnel has a line in the conf file certificate = stunnel.pem but says this is not for a 'production' environment (whatever that is.). Any one who is using SSL stunnel Xnews and Vista could advise me if they've solved the same problem. Earthlink says they don't have SSL support, but I never needed it in XP because I don't go through them. BTW Xnews in Vista works just fine on the open server, just not the SSL.
so I know the Xnews settings are okay. I mapped Xnews stunnel and ports 563 and 119 through Windows firewall (never had to do that on XP) paj692

It was a simple fix...
Running Xnews through stunnel on 3 computers now. stunnel service must be installed and started, but after I started the stunnel.exe application, both other machines I've been testing SSL on started to work. Sorry about the overinfo, but sometimes it's hard to see the way in which a simple problem turns out to be simple when your in the middle of it; even if you are sure it will turn out to be simple (or something). Thx paj692
