Author OT: Getting around an MS Proxy server

I'm 'forced' to use IE6 at work. Our MS Proxy server blocks all browsers
other than IE. The problem, obviously, is that this makes it hard to test
other sites. Unless I use my Mac, which has an external connection. Even so,
I'd like to use a different browser on my PC. I've used browsers that let me
change the UserAgent string, but these don't seem to fool the proxy server.
Any MS geeks out there that know of a way to fool the proxy server?

Some browsers allow you to change the user agent string. Safari (Mac),
Opera, and some others have a preference setting where you can change
this. I wonder if that will work...

Best regards,
Chris
