Ugh. Instead of checking the user agent they check to see what propritary 
extentions are available, IE's or NS4's. Pages like this can't work with NS6, 
Mozilla, and other browsers because they are standards complient so they 
neither have NS4's layers nor IE's document.all. The Linux answer for this is 
to run Netscape 4 for this webpage, if you have a strong stomach. ;-) Also 
try running with javascript turned off with your favorite browser, sometimes 
that helps...
