mr mark, thanks for a reminder on online security! As a
result I checked the SSL level while at my broker's site.
Only 40 bit. I upgraded IE5.0 to 128 bit here...
microsoft.com

Only takes a minute or two.

For those of us who are outside the US/canada and are not trusted
with 'strong' encryption:

There is a free product called 'fortify' which patches your
Netscape browser to include full security.

www.fortify.net

It seems to work very will. There are some test sites that you can
check your level of encryption support.

I feel a lot better using 128 bit than 40 bit!
