You probably need to have SSL installed. I can't guarantee it's the
right version, but the one that's easily found is:

CPQ-VAXVMS-SSL-V0101-B-1.PCSI-DCX_VAXEXE

in the /pub/openvms/ssl directory at ftp.hp.com. That's 9 years old and
not likely t be worth bothering with for security reasons, but you are
running OpenVMS VAX and probably don't care about such things.
