Thought you folks might like to know that PaineWebber won't accept Mozilla as a
web browser.  This is an FYI report.  Don't know if your organization can lobby
 PaineWebber to accept Mozilla or not.  I will certainly send e-mail to their
webmaster asking for access.  Here's the message the cited URL returns:


Welcome to Corporate Stock Benefit Services.

The apparent webmaster e-mail address is (snicker):

[e-mail]

If you send mail to any of the obvious webmaster addresses, it bounces due to
"too many hops" errors.  Hmmm, mayhaps PaineWebber is suffering from its merger
with UBS Warburg.

csbs.painewebber.com/intc now redirects to
https://www.cefs.ubspainewebber.com/com/painewebber/csbs/stockoptions/newlook/pw.html

I browsed as much of the site as I could without a password, and it never
rejected Mozilla. 

Reopen if a user of their service finds problems in the secure portion.
