[Novalug] Anyone else for whom Arlington County Public Schools website DOESN'T work in linux? was: Arlington County Public Schools website: Windows only? (2nd attempt)

[Craig Pennington]

Thanks. My problem is obviously more than just OS related (why is it a
site my wife cares about? I could live with vmware/XP work around.) Is
there anyone else for whom <http://www.apsva.us/aps/site/default.asp>
hangs in linux (or OSX?) If so, I'd like to compare notes:

ISP/Service: Verizon FIOS
Router model: Actiontec MI424WR w/firmware version 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7-MI424WR

Alternatively, is there anyone else with either or both of FIOS (I am
assuming, perhaps unjustifiably, that at least *some* of you who have
had success have Verizon DSL) and the MI424WR for whom the site works
in linux?

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to help me diagnose this.

Cheers,
  Craig P
