The JavaScript microserver (the piece that facilitates the communication
between the browser and the router) runs on just about any client that
supports any implementation of JavaScript.  It runs well on Netscape 4.x
and the various versions of IE.  Opera, NS6 and others are not
officially "supported" but I've done stuff in Mozilla/NS6 and it works
fine.  Basically, if your data can be represented as a JS object, you
can send it to the router.

The microserver doesn't use any LiveConnect or Java, so it's not a
problem.  Macs are not officially supported as a KN platform (big
suprise, huh?) but that may be part of future plans.

JavaScript is a lot like C++, without all that useless stability.
