in [UK Linux]

From: Chris on 10 Jul 2007 01:25 Just received magazine from NatWest which mentions they're bringing out card readers for extra security on home banking (www.natwest.com/reader). The site has 'Getting Started' etc., but nowhere (that I have found) does it actually menetion connecting to your PC! I assume it's a USB device; the question is, is there a chance it wouldn't work with Linux? -- Chris

A friend has one already, it *is* completely standalone, like a small calculator with a slot for your card to let it read the chip.

It is. A small handheld device that reads your chip 'n pin card producing an eight digit number you feed to the online banking website. http://www.newsroom.barclays.co.uk/content/Detail.asp?ReleaseID=1013&NewsA reaID=2 http://blog.jazzle.co.uk/why-i-might-leave-my-bank-the-natwest-card-reader -- Cheers new5pam(a)howhill.com Dave. pam is missing e-mail
