What platform (OS) are you using it from ?

It claimed that it contains "features that cannot be viewed using
this browser" and I was using Netscape 4.03 too (from a Solaris
platform). It also pointed me to download IE icon.

I assumed the worst (that they are providing content which is
incompatible for viewing with their competitor Netscape).

Obviously, I was wrong here and there is some other reason.
Maybe it uses something like ActiveX available only on a Microsoft
OS (assuming that is what you might have used) and not Solaris which
is also bad though to a lesser degree. Or there is some
other problem here....but based on your report it seems to be
Netscape friendly atleast from some platforms.
