Apparently he didn't know User Agent String, a handy-dandy site that takes any user-agent and breaks it up into nice understandable parts. Entering our string yields the following table
Internet Explorer 6.0 | |
---|---|
Mozilla | It's a Mozilla based browser |
4.0 | Mozilla Version |
compatible | Compatibility flag Indicates that this browser is compatible with a common set of features |
MSIE 6.0 | Name : MSIE 6.0 Version = 6.0 |
Windows 98 | OS-or-CPU : Windows 98 |
Rogers Hi-Speed Internet | Rogers Communications Internet provider. Partnered with Yahoo! to offer Rogers-Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet. |
R1 1.3 | Using Real Player as a browser |
All Internet Explorer user agent strings |
This is clearly wrong, as the useragent.com search shows. "R1 1.3" does not refer to Cisco firmware, but to the fact that the user of this computer had a Real Player installed.
More shortly.
Update. Commenter "freemarkets" points out that the Real Player only shows up in the string if it is being used, not installed.

The "Rogers Hi-Speed Internet" is less clear. Not all Rogers' users have it. In the thirty visits from a dozen or so users of 66.185.84.204 here, only a couple have it. (To judge from this, the Rogers-tag here means that the version of Explorer being used was one supplied by Rogers, not a generic version.)
