I have had NO trouble accessing my mvfcu.org account with
Mozilla, Netscape, and Konqueror (3.01 mdk)...
However I did try our denalfcu.org account and am not getting in...
whether it is a momentary glitch or new divelopment I am not sure as
previously the last few years have seen access with Mozilla and Netscape..
I have accessed (until now) denalifcu accounts from Linux machines for at least the last 6 years..
I have sent a polite note and will post the results !
