It appears to be more complex than either of us thought :-( I tried various useragent strings in Konqueror and the nearest I got was a blank chat page with no warnings. I've now also tried putting an IE5/Win95 useragent string into general.useragent.override in the about.config page of FireFox. This fooled msn completely but didn't do me any good. -------------------------------------------------------- We are now downloading MSN Chat software. If a Security Warning box like this appears, please click its Yes button to complete the download. NOTE: If you click No, you will not be able to chat. The download is in progress It takes approximately 2 minutes. (using a 28.8k modem) -------------------------------------------------------- Of course, nothing downloaded, and even if it had, well it ain't gonna work. I've got Wine compiled now so will see what I can do with that. -- Dave
