I personally just go to http://bert.wvu.edu and it seems like a back-door to mix.wvu.edu. However, if they turn that site down - I'm in trouble, since all my computers run Linux. Yes, I can use that firefox disguise feature, but I don't think this is the way it should be. So, no matter what you'll do, it would be nice if you send them a request to open up mix.wvu.edu for non-Microsoft users. I did that before, but my voice was not enough.

I hear that they will not support firefox (or other web browsers besides ie) I have heard that there is a plugin that will make the server think firefox is ie. or there is some place you set a setting. Could someone tell me how to do this. My computer runs linux so i have to use firefox (and absolutly do not trust ie). > > > > ___________________________________________________________________ > > Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. > > Now includes pop-up blocker! > > Only $14.95/month -visit http://www.juno.com/surf to sign up today! > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Morlug mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://mailman.morlug.org/mailman/listinfo/morlug > > > > > -- --------------------------------------------- Dr. Andrei Smirnov, West Virginia University Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Morgantown WV, 26506-6106 Tel:+1(304)293 3111 x2345, fax:+1(304)2936689 Email: [email protected] http://smirnov.mae.wvu.edu 1024D/5CEDD3E2 ---------------------------------------------
