If you have some magical Java that runs on a UNIX system with a tty interface,
great.

Otherwise, it seems like you're *totally* trying to go beyond the scope of
Lynx.

Sure, many people use it because it's quick, and un-fluffy, but I *started*
using it because it was the only browser that would work from my dial-up
account.  (I use it sometimes from work on this telnet session I leave
open, and more rarely use MacLynx.. but mostly I use it when it's
the *only* choice.)
