Works the same with "Opera 5.0 (Mac)" - if it identifies itself correctly. If
you choose "Identify as MSIE 5.0" however, you gain access instantly (didn't
find some Java Applets, though). -> Looks like non-MSIE users must spoof
navigator.appName to get this page (or convince the site's admin to change his
browser testing script - testing 'appName' instead of some key functionality is
regarded bad practice anyway).

Many pages have this limitations and I would appreciate a function in Mozilla to
switch how Mozilla identifies itself (how about a little button beside the
connect symbol in the status bar?).
