whois should also give you the owner of the IP space, the address
belongs to, so this also helps, if you get no DNS entry. Example:
43/0 abe@sycorax:pts/4 20:54 [~/quotes] > whois 134.96.7.7
[No name] (NS-RZ) NS.RZ.UNI-SB.DE 134.96.7.7
University of the Saarland (NET-UNISB-LAN) UNISB-LAN
134.96.0.0 - 134.96.255.255

What I found out about those web clients using Google:
RSurf seems to be from home.com while PSurf seems to come from
qwest.net, Optonline.net and Roadrunner.Net, according to
http://www.clearwaterbeachcam.com/d--skinner/spiders.html and/or
http://www.psychedelix.com/agents.html
They also seem to submit (empty data) to guestbooks like at
http://www.donotenter.com/guestbook/gbook.html.
The only thing I found on PBrowse was
http://members.aol.com/pbtips/. But this doesn't seem to be a web crawler.
HTH.
