rlogin URLs

[Thomas Dowling]

What experience do people have with browsers supporting rlogin URLs.  I'm  
trying to link from our home page to a large number of terminal-based  
applications, and our resident security expert is uneasy that  
"telnet://user@host.domain.edu" presents a user with a login prompt.  If  
we could rely on browsers supporting it, he would rather see  
"rlogin://user@host.domain.edu" and remove one more opportunity for people  
to mess around.

I'm stuck in something of a platform backwater at the moment, and can only  
experiment with Lynx and OmniWeb (which support rlogin, as you'd expect  
from a browser that can run a Unix command line) and Mac Netscape 2.0b2,  
which treats it exactly the same as a telnet URL.

Is that what I'm likely to find with other common browsers?
