The odd thing about that is Mac OS X.  On OS X you have a choice of
Firefox or Safari (or another browser running on Webkit like OmniWeb
or Shiira).  Does it work in Konquerer seeing as that is basically the
same engine as Safari?  I wonder if it would work in Firefox on Mac OS
X but not Firefox on Linux.

My other thought is that it could be that they don't "support linux"
on their broadband connections, however stupid that is.  They may be
trying to 'shutout' linux users at the door by not even letting them
browse their broadband packages.
