personally, i think this would be A Bad Idea. i can't imagine how frustrated a
person could become when, connected via telnet, the man command simply spawns a
browser on the box. sitting locally at the machine i can agree with axel -
net+ is way better than viewing_with/blocking the terminal. but remote
connections via telnet require something other than _just_ a GUI browser
option. perhaps i over-use telnet?
