James-

 From the help, it looks like you've got version 4 of  stunnel.
You need to make a config file, not pass the stuff in on the command line.

I think your config file would look something like this:

client = yes
foreground = no
[stunnel]
accept = 636
connect = bluepages.ibm.com:636

This example assumes that there's an stunnel service defined on port 636 
in /etc/services

Good Luck,

Mark
