I'm jumping in on this thread rather late I'm afraid - just got out of hospital and it is taking a while to catch up on all my mail.
Have 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.

At this point it would seem sensible to ask which bank we are talking about.
Good to see you back, Margot. Hope the hospital thingy wasn't too serious.

My "bank" was a savings account at Tesco (which is a supermarket, for non-uk readers who may not have heard of it!). David said his new account was a business account, so is probably with a "proper" bank - but they might be equally unenlightened when it comes to linux compatibility.
I did send an email to Tesco pointing out that it was a bit odd, from a marketing point of view, that they were restricting themselves to a shrinking market of Windows users, and also mentioning security concerns - no reply yet!
Gall bladder having been removed, I am feeling slightly better, and almost able to resume my linux self-education!
