For what it's worth, this was eventually resolved by the hosting 
provider; they had to reinstall front page extensions on their end, then 
subsequently had to set umask (or whatever the equivalent is on windows) 
so that files were writable.  There was also some talk from the provider 
that the version of FPE that they were running was not compatible with 
client side front page 2003 or later (I don't know if this figured in 
the reinstall, forgot to ask).  Alas it works and the valuable lesson I 
learned is how to make a 3-way call and the nicety of headsets.  -Bob
