I noticed that Lynx Pre.9 for Win95 was having some read errors when 
accessing a Netscape server that is being used in my wife's college 
classes.  I could usually try to get the same page a second time and 
it worked.  I attributed it to flakiness of their server, but perhaps 
it's not.  This is a password-protected site, but it does not use 
cookies.
