Margot - You are UK, I believe? I have hsbc on-line banking. Under windows I was refused connection from Netscape 6 with the message you got. I was amused to find, the same day, that from Mandrake I could use Mozilla to access the site, without problems! Half the time they don't know what they're talking about.
If it's hsbc you can access it from Mozilla, Netscape, Galeon or Konqueror - and without pretending to be M$. I do it.

Yes I'm in UK. Are you psychic? My main bank account is HSBC, and works fine from Mozilla! Unfortunately, my branch is difficult to get to (disability/parking problems) so as I shop in Tesco I use a Tesco Savings account, pay in whatever cash I have left from my Incapacity Benefit after doing my shopping, and transfer it by internet from the Tesco account to the HSBC account to cover cheques, direct debits etc.
I had another look on the Tesco site - they use ActiveX. They have special software, which you have to download into IE.
I tried the uabar with Mozilla, but although it said it had downloaded nothing appeared - what does it look like and where would it be?
I also tried Konqueror with the Agent changed to "pretend" to be IE on Win98 - didn't work.
In the long term, I hope Tesco will become "enlightened" and produce software that will run on Linux. In the short term, I can keep the Win98 machine running and just use it for banking. In the medium term... I'm sure Linux has a solution somewhere...
