Brian if I may - adding transparent=true on to the end of the URL will allow the street layer to be transparent so satelite imagery can be used along with the streets.
The URL would be http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&transparent=true After selecting the layer using the Get Layers, change the image from image/jpeg to image/png Then you are good to go.
