When I try this in Mozilla 1.0, it tells me that telnet is not a
registered protocol.  It may well be that (at least the linux version
of) mozilla does not support this.

OTOH, the only MIME type which is defined by default in Mozilla 1.0 is
text/html, and it seems to ignore /etc/mime.types as well as the
user's mime.types file.  So maybe it's just shipped b0rken...
