Hi Benjamin & all who tried to help with this problem.

Benjamin, I wasn't able to find the first link you talked about. I did
finally get to the correct page that read the text in the CAPTCHA image. I
had to view the source of the web site, search through all the code, and
find the link to the site. I came upon a URL that ended with "secret.wav"
and copied and pasted this into the address bar of a new webpage and the
correct characters were read out. What a royal pain though.

Thanks again everyone.

Russell

Interesting.

There are two anchor links on that form after the "Enter the characters" 
text field. The second link contains the link text "Need help" and it opens
the "n i c e t r y" recording. But the first link contains an image of a
speaker with no alternative text but a title attribute of "Listen". If you
follow that first link, a different recording is opened that matches the
CAPTCHA image, e.g. "T T G 5 T" with clicking and a bit of static between
the letters and numbers.

Something seems to be broken with the Need help link. But if you make sure
you're not in forms mode you should be able to tab to the first link and use
that instead.
