But most normal users don't access the internet through a 3x6 inch calculator!
Here is an idea:  the calculator is connected to an external modem with a
graph-link.  Then you dial up a standard (read NOT AOL) isp that allows direct
ip connection.  Then you telnet to a unix or linux shell.  All that needs to be
coded then is VT-100 terminal emulation.  No need for parsing, sense the server
does all the work.
