--snipHave you looked at the thread "Can't access my bank account", started 9/3/03? I had a similar problem to yours, and after trying several tweaks we came to the conclusion that it just wasn't possible to access my particular account without Windows - the bank software was using Active X controls, so had to be run through Internet Explorer. I just don't want you spending loads of time trying to do something that just isn't possible when you could be doing something useful instead.
If you haven't seen the thread, let me know - to save you trawling through archives, I could forward the messages to you.

Good point Margot. I have not seen the thread. I assumed (grin) my problem had something to do with Explorer. I tried the site that Richard sent and it worked just fine. The Bank is BBT here in the states. Is there some way that I could look at the source page that would indicate ActiveX.
No idea I'm afraid - Tesco's website had a helpful page explaining that you had to use Windows and IE "for security reasons"! I can only suggest that you look to see if your bank has anything similar, and if they don't maybe you could phone them and try to persuade them to put you through to someone in their IT department - because the average person in customer services probably won't have a clue what your talking about.
I was very well
versed in Windows when the Paladium stuff struck a raw nerve and I bolted to Mandrake Linux. Needless to say, I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous. David
I don't know enough yet to be brave enough to start anything that might be dangerous - I just sit here, chanting the mantra "don't log in as root...don't log in as root"!
