to get it working we added a form field to the url string... ala

http://referrals.tucows.com/auth_res/auth_res.cgi?seal_r=91&signature=9999yoursignaturethingy99&fire_url=www.yourdomain.com
(wont work as is but works with the right values on my website)

the secret incantation is fire_url

so as I understand the fire_url has to match the signature or it won't 
work, dunno if this breaks anything else...
referrer checking isn't great anyhow.
