Thanks for the insight. Cannot connect at all in Safari but OK in  
Opera(set to id as IE). I moved to HSBC as my previous bank would not  
support anything but IE and at the time I was using Debian. I moved to  
OS X as it seemed the best of both worlds and am so far very happy  
(having now bought an iMac, Macbook, Mac Mini and iPhone). I am just a  
tad nervous that Apple might go the way of MS and try to impose their  
own standards rather than use universally agreed standards.
