[thelist] Detecting unix browsers

I'm feeling pretty rusty on browser detection. We have a client who has a
high proportion of users with Solaris and other Unix systems. They are
reporting that on Netscape 4.7 on Unix (not Linux interestingly) the font
sizes are much too small. They have suggested we detect Unix browsers and
serve a new stylesheet for them.

The only problem is that they don't have a recommendation for the detection
code. Anyone out there doing this on their site or who can point the way for
what we should be trying to detect?
