Hi Mac Ok, if what you say is correct then it does sound like this could be considerably hard for us without some kind of audio help. If Sirius is going to be all fired up about people accessing their service, then they at least need to provide some other way of logging in, either through some kind of audio captcha, or some other kind of challenge and response type of deal. there are many ways it could be done. I just hope XM doesn't do this.
