Hi,

I might be completely wrong here but I remember looking at satelite a while
ago and if I remember correctly, it's a one way link, ie, you can download
but not upload. Does your bank require a certificate ? If so, and you can't
send these details to the server, then this could be why you can't access the
secured page. Have you tried connecting to your bank via dial up to rule this
out ?

Regards Colin.
