Don't forget that with the current code, you need a DPMI manager and a
packet driver loaded for lynx_386 to function.  Even though CWSDPMI and
SLIP8250 are relatively small, they need to be loaded, in addition to
the DOS system files and the extended memory manager.  Let the list know
if you can make lynx_386 function without the packet driver - lots of
folks would like to see that option.
