OpenSSL with telnet-ssl client

[meridian <me@tha.net>]

Hi,
I have openssl installed and telnet-ssl packages and when I try to telnet
to another machine which i believe isnt running debian i get this error.
Could some one lead me in the right direction? thanks

SSL_connect:23WCHA SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
