Not sure about getting to the admin pages. I thought that you meant that after you rebooted it you could access everything again for a while. With something that old you might want to try and older browser, maybe the built in web server just doesn't play nice with new browser versions.
You could switch to a new Netgear Prosafe router with VPN for cheaper and it will probably do what you need it to.
Oldest browser I've tried so far is IE7. I'll try a box with IE6 and an older Firefox. Seems to me that before even Safari would work, but since then I've upgraded to Mountain Lion (currently on Safari 6.1).
If I can't get the full Management pages, I'll have to consider other options. I see a Netgear Prosafe at BestBuy for $125. Do you know if it requires a static IP with modem in bridge mode, like my SonicWall does? If it would work with our regular household ISP, I could save $85/month.
Since our needs to access this legacy server are quite limited, I'm wondering if a non-VPN remote connection using, say, Team Viewer, GoToMyPC, or LogMeIn, or even Windows Remote Desktop, would provide adequate security over our home ISP.
Hmm. . . I see that there's a Console Ethernet port on the back of the SonicWall. Can I just plug a computer into that and see the Management pages with a browser?
