Re: AS/SET Key

Dan,

Well, it has been my experience that SSA/GT has been much better at issuing 
keys than was the old SSA.  I went through the key problems with numerous 
clients (whose accounts were in order) when I worked for an SSA agent firm 
under the old regime.  My recent experience has been that SSA/GT is quite 
quick and amicable in providing keys, as long as you don't owe them any 
money.

Folks, has this been a problem for anyone else?  Have I just had good luck 
over the past couple of years?  I really thought that the key issue had been 
resolved, and would like to know if it has not been.

Regards!
