Dear Sirs:

  There seems to be a missing URI scheme in your browser.  It is called "rtsp"
for Real Time Streaming Protocol.  You can see it by browsing to

  http://www.c-span.org

and trying to play one of the videos.  An error message something like

   The address type is unknown or unsupported
   rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e042704_nomination.rm

pops up.  Microsoft's browser understands rtsp but I have yet to
find a linux broswer that does.  Is there a way to teach your browser about
this unknown scheme?  The RealAudio player (version 8) understands it,
so all that should be necessary is to pass the URI to the player.

WFM on WinNT4. Do you have the Real Player plugin installed and registered in
Mozilla?

Linux issue because there is no registry to ask what to do with an unkown
protocol scheme
