From the Toronto LUG list, something possibly of interest. Note that there
is a workaround: Konqueror works if you do Tools->Change Browser
Identification->(Windows whatever version) However, NS4 under Linux did NOT
work for me, and I'm sure many other users are likewise stranded.

So who would you complain to about this sort of issue?

I suspect this is part of a larger Microsoft conspiracy to ensure that only
Windows users make it into the country. :)

It is probably not a bad idea informing about these who discriminate Linux
users?

This time this is not a Canadian institution. A friend of mine asked for
help
with requesting an application for visa to USA. This sort of application
request can be done from http://www.nvars.com/ . And what happens when I
click "continue" at the bottom of the page there?

"The US Embassy Visa Appointment Reservation System is currently not
supported by your browser. Click one of the links bellow in order to
download and install a supported version of one of the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer Netscape Browser"

These ignorants did not care to check that I do use a Netscape browser.
Simply, I use it from Linux. The same problem was when I did use konqueror.
Now, I have a problem: you may lough or not but I do NOT use windows... How
am I supposed to order documents from them?

I would be glad to send them some sort of protest letter if anybody around
cared to prepare a nice one in good English.
