This sounds as if you don't have your own certificate done correctly.  I
just tried the site "https://ssl3.netscape.com/"; and got a confirmation.
I am using a self-signed certificate.  I would try again, following the
instructions at "http://paradigm.webvision.com/developers/casetup.html"; .
If you still have trouble, tell us step-by-step how you made your
certificate. One potential problem is your "Common Name".  Make sure to
use "*.att.net".

Good luck.
