For those without UniServe, John Williams' URLtoIE
http://irene.williams.free.fr/software/urltoie.htm may be of interest:

This application loads onto the iconbar and provides a conversion
from an Acorn URI shortcut, an ANT URL shortcut, or a plain text file
- dragged from, say, NetSurf's URL bar - to an Internet Explorer
shortcut.

Thus, if you find something in NetSurf that doesn't work too well -
perhaps because it uses JavaScript - you can quickly process the
URL/URI into a form that LanMan will transfer sensibly to your
'Windows' machine.

Although IE is mentioned, URLtoIE works equally well with Firefox.
