An interesting fact is that these 'little keypad thingies' are all the same, just badged differently. So if you need to, you can use someone else's - away from home, for example. Anyone wishing to discuss this, take it elsewhere, as it's off-topic here. John

DO NOT allow anyone else to see your serial number, as following the RSA breach, the system is compromised. Cheers -- David J. Ruck email: dr...@druck.org.uk phone: +44(0)7974 108301

All the keypad does is generate numbers, which appear on its display. All you do is copy the numbers from the display to NetSurf's writable icons. Works a treat. There is no electrical interface between the PINsentry and the computer. PINsentry has a keyboard (through which all its input goes) and a display (from which the user copies all PINsentry's output).

Thanks for the technical info. (Getting back on topic) Does this mean, then, that the HSBC site is working again with NetSurf? If so, I'll be glad to have one less use for Windows.

We use the PINsentries interchangeably; I deliberately put the one I used last underneath the other so as to spread the use between them evenly. If they were individual, they would have to be individually identifiable, and of course they aren't. Dave
