Is STARTTLS command exclusive for TLS channels or can it be used with SSL channels ? Is there any TlsStream which can be used , as SslStream since .Net4 does not support TLS even if it is available as member of the SslProtocols enumeration.

STARTTLS tells the server to start SSL/TLS handshake and can be used with all versions of SSL/TLS. But the server might require that the client supports certain versions (i.e. older versions of SSL can be disabled on the server). In this case the handshake won't be completed.
