ONLINE BANKING

[Randy Abel]

I just went through the install process for the latest stable release of
Aqbanking and it's working pretty well for me.  At first it would give
me an error when it was trying to parse the accounts list from my bank,
but upgrading to the 3.8.2 version solved that problem.  Perhaps that
will help some of you with your online banking issues.

Aqbanking downloads are at:
http://www2.aquamaniac.de/sites/download/packages.php

I did have to install some other packages to get it to work, so be sure
to look at the install doc
