Just be sure you are on a well known, secure web site, using the highest security level that is available. (I don't know anything about fortify, so you are on your own there). It is my personal opinion that sending your credit card information over a secure web link is far safer than handing it over the counter at a store, or telling someone over the phone. The riskiest thing that people do with credit cards, is throw away the carbon paper (usually done by the vendor), after all, it does have your number, and a sample of your signature, on it. ****************************** From the PC of Doug Bissett doug.bissett at ibm.net The " at " must be changed to "@" ******************************
