They have webserver name and I think IP adress hardcoded in them, so they're not portable. Also, not clear if a verisign certif is enough, or whether the certifying authority needs to be intuit or one of the bank consortiums. So the risk is you buy one and 20 minutes later throw it away... It would be better to maybe formally join the ofx consorium for hopefully a small fee and get whatever membership benefits that entails. > > I was appalled.

Well, I no longer have the version that does this; also what I had was a developers version so I don't know that the generally-available version does this; a lot of light & attention might lead to libel without hard facts to back it up. I'd have to be an "anonymous coward". --linas ----- %< -------------------------------------------- >% ------ The GnuCash / X-Accountant Mailing List To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe gnucash-devel [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the body
