No.  Actually, I have no idea where this is coming from, but it's what xisp
displays.  I'm certainly not giving it that string.  I've never entered that 
string in a script of any kind, so I really don't know where, except xisp, it 
could be coming from.

I'll have a look and see if I can figure it out.

I entered the userid and password in the program.  I don't get asked, 
and I get dropped really fast.

Yeah.  This is certainly do-able, and I must be very close . . . but still no 
cigar.  We'll get it sometime this week, I'm sure.  ;-)
