Yes I'm in UK. Are you psychic? 
   

No - I just remember your connection problems <g>

 

I had another look on the Tesco site - they use ActiveX. They have
special software, which you have to download into IE.
   

ActiveX is the problem - it's strictly windows only.  And setting your browser 
to say it's IE won't change that.

 

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?
   

'uabar'?  I don't recognise this?

 

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...
   

If it becomes a problem to maintain a separate win98 machine, consider running 
win98 under win4lin.  I don't think you would have any problems.  It's not 
free, though.

I meant, are you psychic for knowing that my main bank account is with HSBC!

Uabar was recommended by a couple of people as a possible solution - it 
changes the user agent identity on Mozilla.

Can't seem to reply inline - I'm using Mozilla - what am I doing wrong?
