Wine is an open source project designed to allow Windows apps from running 
directly in Linux. Depending on what version of IE you need, you may be 
able to setup Wine & install IE to run on it.

The last time I looked at Linux Web Browsers, some of them had a features 
that would advertise itself as another browser type - ie, it could fool IE 
specific sites into thinking it was OK to let the user use the site (I got 
Barclaycard's site to work for my wife in that manner).

You could also take a look at VMWare - this is a really cool app (from a 
tech-head point of view) that will create a "virtual" PC within your 
operating system onto which you can install another operating system. ie. 
you could start a VMWare session within Linux and boot a copy of Windows 
into it.
