It may interest people here to know that Transport2000 are not only boring do-gooders, but that they're crap at web programming, too.
Try connecting to their website with a web browser set so it sends no useragent identification at all, and you will see an MS SQL Server error.
Apparently the clueless f***wit who coded it never thought that the site would ever encounter such a weird beast as Konqueror, and didn't bother to initialise the useragent string with something in case no value got returned.
The ASP system, when you connect, tries to talk to the database AND log the connection, (f*** knows why) and when it finds no useragent string, falls over dead.
Which basically shows you that whoever programmed that content delivery system didn't know the first thing about programming, and was way too trusting to be let program on a website by himself. Not that I'm advocating having a shufti or anything, but I'll bet there are all sorts of holes in that IIS server the thing is running on...
