I'm answering myself here! Looking through the archives I saw a reference as
to what browser I was using, which had been IE 5.0. I then tried to access
the GUI using Netscape 4.6, and was able to do so.

Unfortunately, I accidently deleted my original Equifax / Geotrust Cert, and
now have to see if I can set it up again, without having to buy a new one. I
only renewed last week for $120.00. Bad day so far......
