So this is not an issue of the Cert, but rather the way Tucows set it up on
their server? Because I got a warning in IE5 too, but I noticed that both
these are mentioned as supported in the browser chart.

Hmm. I didn't realize that they weren't offered by Verisign either. My
host uses one and gives me a sub-domain on their secure sever. Does that
mean that they will lose that ability? I was hoping to be able to do
wildcard certs to be able to offer my hosting clients the same set up.
Another question about these certs. They are 128-bit right? But will they
still work in a browser that only supports 40-bit strength?
Also, the agreement that I agreed to online for selling certs, is that
available in a printable format somewhere?
