Margot, For several UK banks that assure you Explorer is necessary, it seems to be totally irrelevant once you've got your internet banking account set up, via the internet with Win IE/by post/by telephone, as long as whichever browser you decide to settle on can provide a secure connection (https) and certification. BUT as Derek says: ......."enter the url of the login page directly"..............I bookmark it to save trouble. I've switched my internet banking from Explorer/Win'95 to Win'98/Netscape-> Opera to M9.0 Linux /Mozilla-> Galeon plus Opera without needing to give it any further thought. (Barclays, Egg, Newcastle BS) I'd just install the internet banking using whatever means the bank offers, even if Win/Explorer; ignore it; and try out accessing your account via Linux with your preferred Linux browser anyway. Give it a go! Good luck! Doug -- Douglas B. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Douglas B. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
