Oh, I can run Mozilla (on the only machine which is running X11).  I
don't like to do so, because it seems to have very few keyboard
shortcuts and almost everything is "click-only" (i.e. dead rodent).

MBNA is lynx-friendly (you have to tell lynx to not display [IMG] tags),
I have a credit card through them.  And actually, since I'm not a purist
I do use Opera occasionally which deals with Capital One as long as you
tell it to pretend that it's Mozilla (Opera /is/ keyboard-friendly, but
there are some pagess it doesn't like).

Somewhere there is a list of banks which work (or not) with various free
browsers, there are actually quite a few...
