New Web servers at datek online.... ordersx.datek.com, and ordersy.datek.com More are coming... Please ignore the Security warning from your Browser. We are not waiting for the certificates to come in. The Security warning problem will be fixed in a few days. All activity on these servers is JUST AS SECURE as any other server.

The two new servers seem to be pretty quick compared to 4 anyway.

Thanks for info. Truer progress ... would be to install, if only as beta tests, and I'll volunteer, "streaming" technology to allow us to receive--not retrieve-- "live" quotes. This might involve a browser "plug-in" to install--so what. Also, using net-telephone technology, ie/eg. "call-fowarding", routers--in the true sense of the word-- should route the user to the next open server when there's trouble with one, obviating the need for constant logons. Wishes: Frames on the user interface would not break the quote window away from the order/password window, which is absurdly large anyway. (No, the "express server" isn't the solution, it's actually quite stupid--because you (should) want quotes always accessible. Datek, perhaps now that it has serious competition, should get their tech-stuff together. Truth is, they're not cutting edge; they're just cheap.
