Subject: Efforts to go Microsoft free

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
