St George Bank Internet Banking

Recently St George Bank have somehow changed the Internet Banking (java
based) that now means that you cannot access it anymore using os/2 or eCs. 
Prior to this it worked perfectly with latest Browser and java vm etc.

If anyone uses that bank and os/2 or eCs please send an email complaint -
maybe if enough of us complain we can get them to re-instate or fix it for us
(and maybe pigs will fly ...sic!)

No problems here (ECS 1.1, IBM Browser 2.02 & Java 1.3.1), what are 
you running ?

Hi - same as you - are you sure you have tried it recently?  This appears to
have only happened in the past few days.

Let me know

David

I have managed to find out how to solve the connection problem with the help
of the Australian OS/2 users email group.  You need to install prefbar.xpi
and select mozilla 1.0 / win 98 - works like a charm now.  Just dont tell the
bank otherwise they will try to thwart us non standard users.

Hello David,
   Thanks for creating some activity here!  OS/2 is a lot less "dead" 
than the silence the last few weeks would suggest!      :-)

   How do you subscribe to the OS/2 users email group?  Where do you get 
prefbar.xpi from?  I did a search on the drive where my Moz 1.4.1 is 
installed and did not find such a file.

You can subscribe to the group from www.os2.org.au/list

prefbar.xpi is available from http://prefbar.mozdev.org - you must install it
from Mozilla.
