I am doing some work on the site you mention, we have dhad some problems
with the freeserve accounts as they keep changeing, the way I do it at
the moment is to use the free serve set up suggested then, change to
script based authentication and then use
expect : ogin
send : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
expect : word
send : yourpassword
ogin is short for login, word is more polite than what I use I am sure
you get the idea.

Owen
