Richard; I almost missed that at first, also. Aspect2 doesn't
use that annoying but apparently useful "phone home"
authentication, so it could work using the procedure you
described. So my initial recommendation, to use 4.0 XPress is
a no go, but recommendations that just require an initial
download, like Aspect2, are still useful, right?

Luck;
Ken
