Efforts to go Microsoft free

[Charlie Bullen]

Hello to ALL,

I am trying as much as possible to go Microsoft free. As paart of this 
strategy I have been using Star Office, both for  Win98 and Linux and 
have found that files creeated on one aare completely usable on the 
other. In faact Im storing all of the files created on my Win machine 
on my linux box as I have Samba running on the linux box.

Ive encountered 1 criticle problem. I have to aaccess a protected web 
site www.gosolo.wspan.com which claims to require Internet explorer. I 
was real happy to find that I could access the site via the Staroffice 
 Browser running under windows. Yesterday I got a modem for my Linux 
(Suse 6.2) box configured it got it working fine (infact Im sending 
this email from the Star Office email client) unfortunatley I cant 
access the web page with the staroffice browser under linux. I can get 
to the first page , Click the icon to login and it goes to a page that 
says I have to have IE5.0

This page never worked under netscape under win98.

Accessing this page is a mission criticle function so until I can 
figure out how to make this work I'm stuck with Windows and IE%.

Any Ideas

Thaks Charlie Bullen
