FYI:

    Telnet			     C		    F		  F

Amosaic supports it, but it's a pain to configure (like everything
else) IBrowse doesn't have it, but should in it's final release. AWeb
doesn't have it now.

You might also add:

    mailto			     C		    F		  B

Again, IBrowse doesn't have it, but will in the commercial version.
AMosaic and AWeb both support it via external programs, but AWeb is
easier to configure.

The "Commercial" version of AMosaic is called "IBrowse." When IBrowse
is finally released, the sources to Amosaic might well be made public.
However, there doesn't appear to be much point to it at this time.
