It's not sufficient; the MLS software makes heavy use of ActiveX  
objects that only work in IE/Win.  Been there, done that, with my  
mother the real estate agent.

You can specify the user-agent in the Debug menu of Safari, though -  
I don't recall how to do that off the top of my head, but google  
should find it OK.
