Ron,
While I would love to send the incoming link to a site of my choosing, I am
dealing with an international company that is highly respected both here in
the US and Globally. I thought it might be fun to just redirect the link to
the same page it came from, so it would just look like a broken link, and
potentially go unnoticed for a while. It won't be long before the site in
question is forced to take the link down, so a temporary fix would be OK,
which is all it needs to be if all goes well.
I will look into the solution you suggested and see what I can do.
Company-two's site is actually a static html site, so this may work better
than the previously proposed solutions?
It still seems that the .htaccess method would be best, I just don't know
the proper syntax to make that happen? I unsuccessfully tried a few
variations (see previous posts) of what is on this page:

By the way, what is a 'frame buster script' ? I'll have to wade through
Google for that one...or just use MSN or Yahoo. I am eventually going to
redesign the site for "company-two" but I am working on another one of their
site's at the moment. I do indeed plan to 'bust' the frames, that's for
sure.
Thanks for everyone's help thus far.
