Hi Just do what I'm used to do with local services... I e-mail them with reference to tens of cities here in Finland, that has chosen Linux as their primary OS, along with reference to other covenement organisations that uses Linux, and then ask them: Do You really want to ignore this amount of official sites and all other sites? That usually does the trick.. If it doesn't, they are not worth the effort. There is always a lot of luser-organisations, that ignores other than M$, but believe me, they are not long-time business, and should be avoided. Jaska. Viestissä Keskiviikko 2.

Hi,
I'd like to change the identification of some of my browsers so that they pretend they run on MS-Windows. Has anybody tried it?
The reason (which made me very angry) is the following reply from a
bank:
The "Solo" web pages have been changed and I'm no longer able to fill in the "Registrera ny betalning" form. I've tried Netscape 4.78, Mozilla 0.9.4, Opera 6.0, Konqueror 2.2.2, ... browsers but none of them works. Can't it be fixed somehow?
We don´t support Linux and that is why you can´t register your payments. If you have any further questions about this, please call our internetsupport at 020-421516.
Best regards Nordea Bank Sverige AB (publ)
I even didn't mention I had tried it on Linux. The bank itself figured it out somehow.
Having set up Opera so that it identifies itself as MSIE I'm able to do more on these pages but it's still not OK. Perhaps Netscape 4.78 pretending it runs on MS-Windows would do the job.
