I can.
I have 300+ users, in 32 branches accross Canada on an Intranet, with no
Internet access. I could burn 32 copies of IE4.0 and have them install the
software, but most of my clients are computer illiterate, not to mention
that none of our systems have CDRom's I would have to map a drive to the
server CDROM. I would have to do it myself. Not an easy task. The way I see
it since IPSwitch claims to require IE3+ then they are responsible for
ensuring that this is possible.
