Thanks for all the responses. And thanks for the Opera hint. I gave it 
a try. The login page was indeed displayed, but clicking on log on did 
not work with Opera.

No idea whether this is Active-X, but clicking on Log on does nothing!

Crossover is no option right now since all Macs here are PowerPC iMacs. 
I really hate to have to use an RDP connection to a windows terminal 
server for a browser based application. :-(
