The OpenSSL executable has this facility built-in. See "man
openssl-s_client" (it has a basic server, too).

Hmm . . .
=====================================
$ openssl s_client -host pop.gmai.com -port 110      CONNECTED(00000003)
16228:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
protocol:s23_clnt.c:601:
=====================================

I guess it may only be good for checking the verification/exchange of SSL certs?
