Verisign/Network Solutions has been burned before on domain hijacking, so they will have even some legitimate concerns above and beyond their attempts to just hang on to business. | Something to keep in mind when using the OpernSRS system is that if you or a | customer own multiple domains, you'll want them all to be manageable under a | single OpenSRS profile (single login).

You might be better off just registering a new domain to get a new profile. Would the price of that domain be more than the cost of your time and the delay for your customers? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | phil-nospam@ipal.net | Texas, USA | http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | -----------------------------------------------------------------
