Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.  Looks like safe mode is turned off:
http://textconn.com/sms/info.php


My guess is that Sara is correct in that they disabled the shell_exec
call. 

I suppose I could try just the basic exec() command and see if that
works, however I bet they have the same limitations.


Thanks for the tips I will keep working on this.

-Tom
