Well, Sorry, I went back and looked *again* in the archives and discovered a message I had previously missed.  I made the following
changes to my .htaccess file and finally it worked.

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Out of curiosity, why would the <Limit> tag make a difference as to it working or not?  It would seem that this should only limit
the authorization to a web browser and allow telnet and ftp to get there otherwise.  Please explain this if anyone has any idea why
this tag is required.

Thanks,
