All http traffic at my house runs thru a squid proxy that
reports the USER_AGENT as Nutscrape/1.0 (CP/M; 8-bit). An
ocasional site refuses to service it, sometimes with
strange error messages. As for the ethics of reporting a
bogus USER_AGENT, I can't think of any reason I can't keep
that kind of information hidden.
