dear brad,

thanks for your liberal advice :o) though your waiting for tucows to still
answer what could be wrong sounds discouraging.......have u packet sniffed
and checked that your code is sending out exactly the same packets as the
perl file would - if thts so then there should be no issues as the server
cant really identify the client side code it just checks the input it gets.

have they sent any response about the fact that they are working on it or
anything. i hope someone from there is READING this cuz this is something
crucial. i wouldnt mind posting up my php file to them to help future
developers if i can get mine working especially since php makes the rest of
the stuff so much easier.
