[plug] Browsers compatable with 'non Linux ones'?

Bill, you ask what kind of browser compatability - 
I was chasing general M$IE compatibility as it seems many webpage creators 
don't bother with broader compatability - Central TAFE 'require' a windoze 
browser for people to do online courses (M$IE or Netscape, not even Opera, 
and from memory it works better with M$IE).  I think I got part way through 
with Linux Mozilla but it wouldn't allow me to use their online e-mail 
system. properly  I was pretty disappointed to have got so close then bombed 
out....  I am hoping there might be a Linux browser that had worked on 
transparently mimicing M$IE.  

Yesterday I had someone with a 'wayward' child wanting to be able to have a 
system for internet access from home that had individual logons and something 
to restrict and monitor access.  I was going to advise a Linux install until 
father said he wanted to do online banking (Bank West) as well.

Thanks to you and Leon for your replies.
Cheers,
Daniel.
