Linux not allowed to engage in online banking in South Korea?

[Michael ODonnell]

Hey, DDM - are you still on this channel?  Can you confirm what's
claimed in this article:

  http://www.kanai.net/weblog/archive/2007/01/26/00h53m55s#003095

...which describes how the vaunted South Korean networking
infrastructure *requires* Microsoft products if you want to do
anything like online banking and Linux users are "banned from any
of these types of transactions because all encrypted communications
online in this nation must be done with Active X controls."  ??
