Yes, I am using the real username and password.

FWIW: This alternate approach DID work:

$url = 'http://XXXXXXX.com/ModWebservice/PostServer/';
$url .= '?service=AddProspect&modifiers[responder][0]='.$list_name;
$url .= '&modifiers[email]='.$email;
$url .= '&modifiers[name]='.urlencode($first_name.' '.$last_name);
$url .= '&modifiers[ip]='.$ip;
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
$response=curl_exec($ch);

// close CURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

Thanks for all the suggestions.
