- 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.
