BTW, giving them to me constitutes permission for me to withdrawl from them, just so you know. :) Many places use "electronic checks" which is really just a check that never physically exists, but is processed like a bank would process one that does. Also, electronic transfers are not protected in any useful way -- I can easily transfer as much money out of your account as you like. The whole thing is a basis for some of the recent (last 5-8 year) internet scams where people ask for you to hold on to lots of money for a short time, then you can keep half. Just give them your account number and they will transfer it in. Then you check your balance, and it's near 0, and you wonder where it went... And the bank is not inclined to help you since you gave them your number and they are probably in Russia. --Michael -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
