Happily, but not all of my hosted sites are done by me, some are written by
the customer / third parties.

It passes the relevant test for the card company so thats good enough! :-)

OK!

I know SUN as owned Cobalt Systems by them were working at some stage on FP
2002 extensions for the 4i/r and 550 models but I'm not sure if they even
went to release.
I don't think that there were any subsequent Linux FP flavours after 2002
from MS - but will quite happily stand corrected on that if wrong?

I'll see what happens if its module isnt loaded into apache as Andy C
suggests once I've established how many sites are using it.
