Uhhmm... am I imagining things or are British Gas still hanging aroundback in 1995 ? Using the home or mobile GNU/Linux desktop I can goanywhere in the world and connect to anything. Even my own bank workswith a GNU/Linux desktop. Have BG ever heard of the any browser campaign ? Looks like they haven't. Hopefully someone will get them out of the 20th century eventually. Although, knowing what BG are like it's probably unlikely. Okay. So, install Wine now and internet exploder afterwards. See if that works.
What are the odds that this uses some sort of ActiveX control...I assume that British Gas is a big company, so they probably created a gigantic specification document which took years to implement and test, by which time the technology specified is obsolete.
