Given all the PR ESRI dedicates to OpenGIS "support" and their =
"commitment" to open standards, you can't be blamed for missing that =
boat.  The Geography Network Explorer (the online browser that lets you =
preview services on the Geography Network) is the only ESRI client =
software I'm aware of that can talk to an OGC-compliant server.

Ed,

Oh - so I guess I missed the boat on this one. I thought that ArcGIS =
would read OpenGIS WMS compliant services. Not so?

Excellent idea!  All you have to do is persuade ESRI to support WMS =
servers in their ArcGIS clients (or any other clients, for that matter =
<g>).
