Ted,

Thanks for that info.  I did some digging and now understand that the
UserAgent string originates in the browser and is available to the
application at navigator.userAgent.  When I viewed source at the sign in
page of the GFS.com site I found no reference to userAgent.  I realize that
I probably need to learn a lot more before I can be sure that the
application is not looking at the userAgent information but wonder if I am
even looking for the right thing.

   - Is it possible that the application simply attempts an SSL connection
   and throws a "Browser/Operating System not supported" message if none can
   be established?
   - Is there a valid reason that an application should refuse a connection
   from a Terminal Services session if the browser in that session supports
   the appropriate SSL connection?

Thanks in advance,
Joe
