The use of SSL requires that you have an SSL compatible browser. While older browser versions may support SSL sessions, we strongly recommends the following browsers.
· Windows and Unix operating systems: Netscape Navigator 4.08 of later, Netscape Communicator 4.7 or later and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later.
