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
