You can use any useragent string you want.

On the Options/Internet settings setup page
you can choose to masquerade as any of several existing browers.

Keep Arachne's original User-agent string
Masquerade User-agent as Links browser on Linux
Masquerade User-agent as Lynx browser on Linux
Masquerade User-agent as Mozilla SeaMonkey on Linux
Masquerade User-agent as Mozilla FireFox on Linux
Masquerade User-agent as Lynx browser on DOS
Masquerade User-agent as DosLynx browser by Fred Macall
Masquerade User-agent as MSIE v7.0

Or make you own custom string by adding the 'UserAgent' line into arachne.cfg

UserAgent Xchaos_Arachne (DOS 5.1.95 custom_useragent_string)
