[olug] href="telnet://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn"

I remember having to do this so eDonkey links would open
short instructions:

    * Enter about:config in the address bar
    * Right click on the list, select New, then Boolean; enter
network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k as Preference Name and true as
Value
    * Now right click, select New and String; enter
network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k as Preference Name and /usr/bin/ed2k

Of course, you'll have to change 'ed2k' to 'telnet' and use the
appropriate path, but I think it should work for telnet.
