Then I've no idea why you are not seeing what I do - on both my RPCs.

What, if any, faking settings are you all using?

You can set fresco to announce itself as AntFresco, MSIE
4.04, netscape or Opera. Equally, it seems that you can tell
it to announce the fact that it is running on RISC OS, or
Windows (up to 2000) or MacOS. There are also Mozilla
settings and separate JavaScript faking settings.

Possibly some or all of these account for the different
behaviours reported.

I lo stick to widows for banking, although some of my banks
do allow access with NetSurf, others definitely do not.

You are probably correct but they're certainly well hidden and don't appear
through the Choices menu.

In !Fresco.config I find that it appears it to be announcing itself as
Mozilla/4.00 (compatible; MSIE 5.00; Windows 98)

For Javascript it says javascript.appname: Microsoft Internet Explorer

That's it though and I can't see any information on what other settings
might be possible or anything about OS type.

Ditto and I'm not sure that I want to worry too much about Fresco's lack of
options for logging in given the awful mess that appears once logged in!

I'd also note that the options for logging in on FFox on my PC are just the
same as on Netsurf/Fresco/Oregano in that I don't get the passcode and
memorable word option, just the PINsentry option.

I'm coming to think that Barclays are removing the option as they know I
have a PINsentry or two!

I am sure that I used to be able to find them somewhere in
Config, but it is years now since I looked at that. Assuming
it is still around, Paul Vigay's FresUtils is an easy way of
fiddling with the faking settings.

Thanks.  It does still exist and I've just downloaded it.  As you say, it
does allow the changing of various faking settings amongst other things.

Not sure that changing the faking will make any difference as the problem,
only get a PINsentry option at login, is the same on my Vista PC with the
latest FFox!

How other people are getting different login options out of Barclays I have
no idea.

I don't think so, they've made a big thing of increasing the ways of access
not needing PINsentry.

I agree, the message is there on the site, but I can see no way of doing
so!  All very strange.  I think I've tried every combination of choices
when starting the process but I always end up at the PINsentry screen., no
matter what browser I use.

Ah, I've not tried with IE, so I'll give that a go but then at least one
poster here has spoken about using a non-PINsentry route with Fresco so
that seems unlikely to make a difference.

I had this problem too, until I realized that you need to first login 
with PINsentry, then reset your memorable number/word (you don't 
actually have to change it to anything else, just go through the process).

Once you've done that, the next time you try to log on, you'll get the 
additional option to use that method!

Very obvious... :-)

Weirder and weirder!  Why don't they tell you that?
I'll give it a go later and see if you're method works, thanks!

I'm not sure in which sense you mean your question; but I also bank
with Barclays, and have had to use Linux since they changed their
site.  Even without regard to its not working under RISC OS NetSurf,
I think the older site was easier to use.

I used to be able to reconcile my version of the account side by
side with theirs on the same machine.  That's no longer possible.

Just be glad you aren't with Credit Mutuel. They've changed both 
printed statements and online to category-based, so I can see cheques 
here, direct debits there, card payments over there...

...I wonder how much fraud goes unnoticed now that it is no longer 
clear what the order of events is.

And, as is often the case, there's no "sod off, that's horrible" 
option. It was launched, promoted as a new good thing. Pffft.


Best wishes,

I've been suffering this lack of internet banking for several days. One 
problem is that going on to the Barclays main number no matter whether one 
pushes the various buttons or waits until a voice appears the destination 
is always a call centre, and is then asked for the banking password. I 
haven't got a a telephone banking password. I asked the young lady where she was and the reply was India. I said I didn't want to be rude, but I 
couldn't see how she could help, as she was in India wanting to talk about 
telephone banking, and I'm in England wanting to talk  about internet 
banking. She said she would put me through to someone who could help.

Then followed many minutes of a message repeated at 40 second intervals that someone would come when free.
Eventually a voice said that they were having problems and that it would be put right. That was Thursday. Tried internet connection the following day, 
but still not working. Waited over the week end, and then found among my 
paperwork a complaints number that I had from a few years ago. It still 
worked,  had a problem not being able to give a telephone password but 
sorted out who I was, and I was put through, to 40 second interval messages. Gave up after a while, tried again in the afternoon, and surprise have a 
Tyneside accent speaking to me. He said that they were aware of the troubles we were having and it would be put right, but I would find it easier if I 
had a telephone password, they would send me one. Post arrived Wednesday, a Barclays letter, tear off this strip, scrape the surface, and read the 
number. There isn't one! I tried reading it under a bright light, coloured 
light, with white paper backing, with a watchmakers glass, nothing. So back to the complaints number. I must be able to read the number, did I back it 
with white paper? I assured her there was nothing readable there, and she 
said let's leave telephone banking, for many people who have had trouble 
logging on, she suggested going to Google, searching for Barclays on line 
Banking and clicking on the reply. The result for me is exactly the same:- 
failed to make SSL connection with Oregano, and currently unavailable with 
NetSurf.

  Reading other's comments on Fresco, I tried it, but no matter which of the three choices I used the answer is always, 'unavailable'

So I don't expect anything to happen over the holiday wait to see what next
week brings.

The funny thing is, if you owed them money, they'd be all over it. 
It's like when the bank system crashes, you can't take money out of 
your account but you can sure as hell put some in... But, then, what 
can we expect from organisations that would like to make you jump 
through hoops with passwords and readers and such, yet resolutely 
refuse to make PINs more than four digits *and* also refuse to block 
access in foreign countries (the US is notoriously weak with card 
access).

Hmm. Cash machines here (some, at least) can do Link. Ask it for a UK 
balance, your card is spat out. It worked for about a week...


Best wishes,

Rick.

Just tried Fresco again, and it gets to the page. As does Netsurf - but
you can't log in with that as the drop down menu doesn't show. Oregano 1
gives an error message 'failed to make a SSL connection to the server'

Huh...NatWest. They were trying to talk my mother into installing a 
load of so-called security software. After more or less convincing 
her to go ahead and install, I took the phone and asked for an 
invoice address. They were like "huh?". An invoice address so I could 
bill them for my time sorting out the mess, should it go wrong. I 
listened patiently while the virtues of the software were extolled, 
and then I pointed out that looking for reports of the software 
on-line it was 50-50 whether it would work, or trash the system. It 
hooks in deep and doesn't like to play ball with other anti-virus 
products. More lies, I wasn't buying. The somewhat exasperated person 
asked to be put back talking to my mother since she said she would 
install the product. "Good luck with that", I said. Another "Huh?". I 
explained it is a limited user account, up to date anti-virus, 
Firefox, and a host of plugins to keep crap out (and by the way your 
lame verification uses scripts from multiple locations requiring me 
to partially lower the barrier in order to get YOUR stuff 
working)...so, installing system level stuff is my job. You were 
saying?

I'm sure it is pure random coincidence that the phone call 
disconnected at that point, must have been a glitch. Just like it is 
pure coincidence that the topic has never been raised again.

I understand there are many people running as an "administrator" 
(and, really, Microsoft shouldn't still be in business after a 
cock-up of that proportion), and I understand there are many that 
will open every attachment with insecure software, and I've even 
known people that think anti-virus is something you give your 
computer *after* "it gets sick" (actual quote!); but I wonder how 
much the software touted solves as opposed to breaks? I don't 
remember the name of the product now, but looking it up during the 
phone call, what struck me is that if it misfires on your specific 
machine, it doesn't go wrong, it goes really badly 
only-a-hardened-geek-could-fix-this style wrong.


Plus several other NatWest-sucks stories that I don't feel inclined 
to type out. Either way... ;-)
