As I responded to Shane, they now have more complex shipping tools they want
to get the general public to use. I spoke with more than one person at UPS,
and they were NO help whatsoever. They said if we had repeated problems
timing out, we should discontinue using that tag.
All we want to do is allow our clients the option of "real-time" pricing via
UPS. If you suggest contacting them again, I will, but I spent the better
part of the week before Easter talking with those people and got nowhere.
