Is DirectConnect Possible w/Citibank?

To avoid hijacking another thread, I'll ask here...My main checking and savings accounts are with Citibank. Seven-or-soyears ago, when I was last using Quicken, I remember seemlessintegration of the two (although Citibank charged something like $10/mofor it).When I set up things with Citibank yesterday, the only option I waspresented was WebConnect, which, if I'm using things correctly -- a bigassumption -- seems kludgy at best. The one-button update that workswith all my othe accounts doesn't seem to apply to my WebConnect-edCitibank account. I have to go into my Citi checking or savingsaccounts, then click on the "download transactions" button. Thisbrings up a browser window that brings up with Citibank Online site,where I log in and make my way to the area where I can get the QFX filewhich Quicken intercepts and imports. This is ugly.I did some research on the Quicken site and got more confused thanhelped. The one thing I did notice, though, was that Citibank Onlinonly offers WebConnect, whereas Citibank offers DirectConnect. How doI specify using one over the other? How do I check the Quickenconfiguration for these accounts to use DC instead of WC? Heck, _can_I?Thanks,pete
