Three helpful off-list replies indicate that
1) the web page specifically looks for Internet Explorer, and
2) Konqueror does just fine as long as it spoofs itself as Internet
Explorer 6.0.

I haven't developed ANY skill writing web pages,
The suspect wemaster probably doesn't intentionally lock out non IE
users, but the tools get it done by default. Is it a simple thing to
reset such defaults to allow Mozilla/Galeon/Firefox or native Konqueror
in the door w/o worsening their security protections?
