ROE Web does not work with Macintosh computers.

NOTE: New Installations of Windows XP and Microsoft Server 2003 do not have the Microsoft Java VM. Due to some of the security products used within the system, clients must have a fully functional version of the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (VM) to use Internet Explorer with epass. Regrettably, some clients have been experiencing difficulties when using Windows XP and IE 6.0. As a result of a recent US Supreme Court ruling, some releases of Windows XP do not include the Microsoft Java VM. Secure Channel supports the Sun Java VM version 1.4.2_04 and above to be used under these circumstances. If you are using Sun Java VM version 1.5, please download  version 1.5.0_01.
