   I do not know the type of verification used. Perhaps that is the problem. As   
   near as I can tell I have tried all the variation of the settings   
   available. I have sent emails to Copper, but their responces have not been   
   helpful. I would look forward to Zeta, however I do not think they will be   
   supporting PPC machines.   
      
   thanks.
