The newest fortify deb package (1.4.6-0.1 in woody) recognizes this
one, if I remember right, as well as Navigator 4.72 which I use now.

Go to http://www.fortify.net, they have a link to a page which checks
your browser.

At first you can look at the help menu entry "About Navigator" page
(click on Help), which should show you:
             This version supports U.S. security with RSA Public
             Key Cryptography, MD2, MD5, RC2-CBC, RC4,
             DES-CBC, DES-EDE3-CBC.
if you have a 128-bit version.
