I can offer more information, but I don't have a solution.  Netscape 
*does* fire up xboard if you look at PGN games under this URL:

    http://www.ub.uit.no/chess/pgn/gamelist.html

But it *doesn't* do so if you look at the games on:

    http://www.traveller.com/chess/

Mosiac works on both.

Evidently, the problem is not in knowing about the helper application; 
the problem seems to be in deciding which Mime type to display the 
page as.  I've reached the limits of my understanding of the Web 
protocols here, so you'll have to ask someone else for more help.  
I suggest contacting the author of the Web pages at www.traveller.com, 
if you can.
