[SLUG] Verizon routers: save/restore configuration files fail with Linux

I wsa surprised toI find that my with my Verizon router
(ActionTec MI424-WR) the configuration save/restore only
works with Internet Explorer.

 With Suse and 10.3, Konqueror, the save appears to work,
but restore gives a bad format error. With Suse 10.3 and
Opera I can't even log in. With Suse 10.3 running Internet
Explorer under Crossover the save/restore works, as it also
does of course with WN2K.

Seems odd, but maybe it is another one of those little
details that MS slipped in there to lock up the market (and
Verizon climbed bed with them).
