I found the faq on your website for connecting to Sourceforge's secure
server and was unable to get it to work.  I realized that was for version 3
of stunnel, and I have version 4.  I eventually, after much trial and error,
got it to work.  I have used a little different configuration than your
suggestion above, but it works.  That is all I care about.

Thanks,
Jeff
