If you don't run Windows, you don't register for help. :(

Or Linux.

EDIT -
Nevermind, it requires IE6, not Windows. WINE ftw. I've used a x86 Emulator on my mac, worked nicely (but it was 30 bucks), but its discontinued and surported up to 95, which (probably) doesn't support IE6.

Or you could just modify Firefox to send IE6's HTTP_USER_AGENT string instead of Firefox's, then compile it.

Unless the parser doesn't work the same way as IE6's, which it doesn't.

Doesn't work. I've spoofed the user agent string, and it doesn't load.

You find this with a lot of government sites also.

It's not HTTP_USER_AGENT, it's "User-agent:".  But regardless, from the site:

QuoteIf you're running Mac OS X, you could run Virtual PC 7 and then access Windows and Internet Explorer. Some people also have been having some success using Firefox and the User Agent Switcher extension and setting it to IE6. I tried this and was able to get a little further in the process, but stopped before actually having to fill out a form. I'll leave that to those who really need help.
