I wonder what would happen if you used a proxy server to change the 
user-agent string to a supported browser?

Something like this in squid.conf ( I don't know if this is the correct
syntax)

fake_user_agent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)

I thought some browsers let you set this also, but I couldn't
work out how to do it galeon or mozilla, so I might have been dreaming.

btw, ntlmaps is a great little python proxy server that lets non ntlm
capable browsers use a ntlm only proxy server. (search for ntlmaps on
freshmeat for the url) It also sets the user-agent, I guess to fool
the MS proxy server/admins.
