Telnet does not help you for port 993 because of the SSL protocol, it
requires the client to send first and immediatly start the TLS
negotiation.

In order to track down things, you may consider using the "server.pem" key
in the openssl apps/ directory. It does not match your host, but at least
it is known to work. Once you have this thing working, you know that the
rest of your setup (inetd.conf etc) is ok and you can concentrate on the
certificate issue.
