Erm, you forgot about Netscape. Netscape has the very nice feature of
printing pictures out as it loads them, which makes it very nice for
use over a SLIP account.
And getting a good, working vt100 emulator isn't so easy either - for
some strange reason, nearly all terminal emulators suck. (It isn't
such a problem for me when I'm at school, because there we're using
actual vt220's and 320's.) :-) Thank god for ^L
