oh woops, sorry about the HTML.

I tried konqueror, but it didnt help much (on some sites, the IE thing 
works, and on some, it doesnt), especially when compared to Ies4linux.

As you may know, Ies4linux is just a program that goes out and downloads 
IE. Konqueror doesnt have much of any IE functions (except it can fool 
the website into thinking your running IE, however there are some sites 
that cant be 'fooled' by konqueror, if you get what im saying)

i tried staffkit.com (which works only on IE) with konqueror in 'IE 
mode' (i guess you could call it that) and it worked as though i was 
running konqueror with out the IE identification. I tried IEs4linux and 
the site worked like a dream.
