OK, then how do I specify openssl should be
used instead? Worth a shot... A search with
`apropos-value' and "gnutls" reveals

    starttls-gnutls-program
       "gnutls-cli"

    tls-program
       ("gnutls-cli --insecure -p %p %h" "gnutls-cli
       --insecure -p %p %h --protocols ssl3" "openssl
       s_client -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -ign_eof")

Neither set by me, but can be incorrect anyway,
of course. Eheh.

If you mean ... then:

    $ gnutls-cli --version
    gnutls-cli 3.3.8

This does, over and over again:

    gnutls.c: [3] ASSERT: gnutls_buffers.c:547

    gnutls.c: [3] (Emacs) retry: Resource temporarily unavailable, try again.
    gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) non-fatal error: Resource temporarily unavailable, try again.
    gnutls.c: [3] ASSERT: gnutls_buffers.c:1104

Login procedure works, the rest seems fine (?).
