someone else may give you more detailed advice,
but i remember something like this coming up before:
search the Archive at  www.flora.org/lynx-dev
               or via  www.crl.com/~subir/lynx/search-archives.html

Lynx is developed & maintained by an international group of volunteers,
so there's a certain amount of do-it-yourself involved ...
