        If you first read my "legal disclaimer" in the "Lynx Option Menu"
section of the "Lynx Users Guide" about the "User Agent" option, at your
own legal risk you can modify the user (A)gent field via the 'o'ptions
menu to Mozilla/3.0 (compatible ...) and bypass that annoying redirection
(that's just a guess, honest, just a guess :).
