Turba can support pretty much any field that you configure it to  
understand...but this *has* to be done by the administrator. If your  
provider only allows the limited number of contact fields, then that  
is all you get.  In other words, Turba does have "better support for  
many more fields", but you must get the server administrator to  
configure them.
