The simplest would be to find a friend who has Quicken and see if it knows how to connect.

Thanks, John - I stand corrected.

I've not had to do this for probably a decade, but seem to recall being 
able to make it work with a CSV file (from a credit union) - but that 
was a few versions of GnuCash ago. The CSV option is still in GnuCash - 
that might work well enough. I recall having to hand-bomb some of the 
entries to make it come out correctly.

Cheers
