Some banks, like Citybank (800-248-4472), and Chase Manhattan
(800-522-7766) offer banking by computer and modem.  But
they require the use of an IBM or similar personal computer.
Apparently they use a third level of security where a floppy 
disc, which they supply, is read from and/or written to.  Has 
anyone figured out the details?  How can I use UNIX, with tip(1)
perhaps, and make it look like a p.c. to the bank's computer?
Thanks.
