Nick:

That certainly makes for interesting reading. I took their code and tried it -- although, what it is doing is beyond me. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to solve my problem. But, then again, I may have implemented it incorrectly.

I'm not sure how to express my problem other than to say. I've been working on a CATPCHA sound solution (I know others have already done it). But, I wanted to write something that was simpler and easy to install. All other solutions, I have seen, appear to require all sorts of stuff (i.e., flash, and such) and appear too complicated for the typical web designer/programmer..

I think I have very thing licked except for the timing problem. In some browsers (IE and Safari), the CAPTCHA numbers are said in sequence and in others (FF, Opera, Netscape) they are either all said at once or not at all.

Now, I've tried time delays and such, but nothing yet solves the problem.

Thanks for your link and effort.
