[analog-help] Help w/ BROWEXCLUDE and Netscape (compatible)

[Jeremy Wadsack]

You need to look at the browser report and see what the agent strings really are. They all probably start "Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible", but blocking that will block nearly every browser. You'll need to identify what's unique in the browser string and add exclusions for those.
