If a site is properly designed to consider all types of browsers, the
text and basic image content should be viewable using NetHopper or Newt's
Cape. As Steve mentioned, Newt's Cape will ignore content types that it
can't understand, parse, or otherwise hand off to a plug-in. If a site
depends on the use of a 5.x or higher browser, non-standard graphical
extensions to that browser, or proprietary plug-ins in order for the user
to view even the most basic content or information, then that site is not
worth visiting in my opinion. Find another site. I've heard that there's
a few out there on the web...
