It is often possible to fool these IE only sites into letting you in, either 
by accessing the site through a web page that comes *after* they do their 
browser check, or by spoofing your Browser ID to look like you are using IE.

Opera allows you to to easily switch browser IDs just by hitting F12

Konqueror Settings>Browser Identification allows you to change ID per web site

Mozilla-Firefox ( and I assume Mozilla) has the "User Agent Switcher" 
extension you can install http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/

Unfortunately sometimes it is still not possible to persuade a site to let you 
use it.
