Thanks, that's what I'll try. I see that the script and acl's have 2 databases 
defined but not populated. One is local-ok, the other is local-block. Looks 
the purpose is to add user defined blocking and approval. I messed it up I 
guess - as the local-ok is either not getting picked up, or I didn't do it 
correctly. Time to read a little more doc. Although the format looks real 
straight-forward.

I can't beleive customer support people sending potential clients to a 
dfferent competitor. That's wrong!
