Well, I think you can try this: The latest crossover plugin supports (limited support actually) ActiveX (it was released yesterday - so people who bought Crossover plugins, please upgrade to 1.2.0) so I think you can use Mozilla or Konqueror with it. If you want - I can check it for you (as long as you give me a URL to download/test this activeX). CodeWeavers can also be "hired" by you (if you have big number of clients) to make this ActiveX works. Another solution - Crossover Office, you can download and install IE + ActiveX..
