LYNX-DEV Connecting DJGPP Lynx to the Net

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

Hello, everyone.  I'm back on the list with new questions, after 
feeling overloaded by the traffic 3 months ago.  I might have missed 
the answers to my questions last week.

I read about D.J. Delorie's port of Lynx 2.6 to the DJGPP DOS extender 
environment, and wanted to try it out, especially to see if it would 
work for me, using a screen reading program.  I obtained the binary 
from his page, and now also have the Lynx doc files from Subir's 
pages.  I have succeeded in displaying a local file and a bookmark 
file once or twice, but it appears that WATTCP can't find the Crynwr 
packet driver/token-ring combination to go out and do a domain-name 
lookup and an HTTP connection.  I had this combination working at one 
time for DOS-Lynx, and still use that packet driver for NCSA Telnet 
2.3.08, but am not sure what to try next.

I have not downloaded the source, nor the DJGPP compiler and tools, 
(not sure I have enough time to learn that much), but I am comfortable 
working with lynx.cfg and wattcp.cfg.  I think I have valid 
information in wattcp.cfg.  This is running on a Pentium under DOS 6.2 
with QEMM memory management, including Quarterdeck's DPMI with 2.5 meg 
of DPMI swap space set aside.  

Has anyone gotten this thing to work?  Is there a better mailing list 
or newsgroup on which to discuss it?
