I am able to negotiate the Gateway site via lynx without difficulty.  It
would be nicer if they had meaningful ALT tags.  You need a modern
version of lynx (what version are you using?), with  User Mode set to
advanced in the options menu.  You may also like to have links made for
all images (toggle = *).  The current version of lynx is 2-7-1.  There
have been many improvements since the official release version.  For
more information please see "http://lynx.browser.org/";.

Please send any replies to the lynx-dev list (address@hidden).
