Both machines use Web V2.00 which does not support secure servers.
The forthcoming Opera Web Browser port for Epoc does support secure servers.

However the banks tend to be very specific about the browsers they will
allow users of internet banking to use.  For instance with my particular
bank I am forced to use IE4.0 or above.  Perhaps other banks are more
flexible about this though.

None (Web doesn't do SSL).

The forthcoming Opera browser for EPOC will support SSL.

As pther posts have pointed out, your bank may not support any of the
software you may run on a Psion.

First establish with them what they require. That could save you a lot
of money.

My bank also only allows the use of IE4 and not Netscape.

When I pointed out to them that every time I used IE4 it sent private
details to Micro$oft in America, and asked them to assure me that my
private banking information would remain private, and then to
demonstrate to me how they intended to prove that micro$oft was not
stealing that too, they have refused to answer or address the issue!

I don't use their internet banking facility for that very reason!

Regards

Chris

ps Oh yes! It's The Royal Bank of Scotland btw.

Yes indeed.

I don't think it would make much difference which model you chose for this.

And it works! I've just got into Hotmail using Opera Beta 4. It's
reasonably stable although it does occasionally crash for no reason. It
also seems to cope with Javascript too, although not rollover images.

Some browsers however, allow you to fake various other settings. My main
machine is an Acorn Risc PC using the Fresco web browser. I've written a
small utility which will allow Fresco users to edit the Javascript and
browser environment variables, therefore Fresco can appear to be MSIE or
Netscape as far as the server is concerned.

A number of Fresco users have thus been able to access a number of banking
sites, especially things like Barclays, Lloyds and Egg.

Both models run the same (version) EPOC OS so what's the problem?

Incredible, given that pointing IE 3 (and above) allows anyone with intent to
do just about anything (and I mean ANYTHING) to one's computer and/or the
network it is connected to.  I tell you this because I was absolutely amazed
to see what an Internet Consultant was able to demonstrate to me as I am
going about deploying an e-commerce site (that NDA forbids me to mention at
this time....)

Windos exposes everything that is needed to be known for a malicious systems
designer one is pointing their IE browser at...

Put another way, if anyone breaches our firewalls and touches our cluster
servers, their machine will reboot.  If they come back again, it is totally
technically possible for us to =kill= their motherboard...

It left me pondering long and hard for many nights... there is a bomb out
there in *space waiting to explode... mark my words...

Opera has a setting that makes it pretend its Netscape (Mozilla) but not IE.

Not been following this thread too closely but Opera 4 Beta 1 (for
Windows) includes an "Identify as MSIE5" option in addition to
Mozilla.

Not if "the network it is connected to" uses sensible security measures.

Just because *one* machine on the network is running Windoze, that does
not mean that they *all* are.

It' smore likely a case of the banks' using browser-specific HTML/XML
tags and/or VBscript, which won't necessarily be cured by Opera.

1. netBook : Two Questions -> Answers Please !

Hi there,

Being a realtively new netBook user (2 weeks) I have a couple of
questions I would like an answers to.
I have looked in the manual and can find nothing on these two
questions at all !

1) When the main battery goes "dead", how long do you put it on the  
    charger for ?
    At first you get the amber light, then it chages to green .. but
    do you still keep charging when it goes green ?

2) On the front right hand side is what is called a "Notification
    Button" and "Notification LED" (next to the charging LED)
    What are these ?
    Once again I can't find any reference to them in the manual !

Can anyone help ?

Steve
