Addendum:
Yesterday, one of the guys at WebCentral here was trying to download a
service pack from MSFT web site. On his third try -- he remarked that
despite the fact he was having trouble using MSIE for the download, it was
impossible with Netscape -- that when he tried to log in w/NC, he *never*
got in to do the download.
I've heard other people make the same observations .... is is possible to
configure your back-end to discriminate against browsers? [i know the
browser info is available to the back-end, just curious about the process]
