There are a few things you can do, and I'm sure someone on the list will
correct me if I'm wrong..

1) Change the User (A)gent in the (O)ptions of Lynx (something like
   Mozilla 3.0 compatible or change the spacing in Lynx - be warned,
   Netscape don't like this)

2) E-mail the owner of the site (usually address@hidden) asking why, and
   seeing if they will modify their server so that text based clients can
   get in..

3) Give us a URL to look at :>

4) Convince your sysadmins to move to Lynx 2.7, its got quite a few bug
   patches etc compared to 2.5, or download the source, and compile it
   yourself.
