When I encounter those sites I've usually been able to masquerade as
IE, by changing the browser's user-agent string.

How to do it depends on the browser (with Galeon, you use gconf and
set the /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent key).
I set mine to
    "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

HTH.
