Datek Brokerage $9.95 a trade

An SI Board Since June 1996

Introduction Compact

Has anyone heard of them ?
Their website is datek.com and they charge $9.95 a trade
Must have $2,000 to open an account.
I discovered it surfing on the Internet
I would like to know if they are alright compared to say Etrade which has a bad reputation. My worst nightmare is to be ripped off by a fly by nighter brokerage scheme - a fraudulent operation.

Does anyone know any thing about them? Or better still are using them.
