online banking with Bank of America: not quite accessible enough

[Janina Sajka]

The old classic solution to this bit of browserism is simply to lie. In
lynx, and possibly in links, there is a "masquerading as" setting, where
you can define the identification string that will be supplied to t with
your http connection. So, you can pretend to be any browser they want!

Now, what actual strings we need to put in there is something I no
longer know off the top of my head. Perhaps we can set up some tests
among us over the next few days and collect some good lies??
