I'm puzzled: that would probably be the PDCurses configuration,
which opens the console window in graphics mode.

It won't run over a serial connection (such as ssh would assume).

That's true of similar systems (something I have to keep in mind
for when I connect to my OS/2 system via telnet).

But two questions:

        a) what sort of ssh server are you talking to?

        b) the servers that I'd know of offhand would have a suitable
           environment for lynx to run in that would support a regular
           (serial connection) curses.  Couldn't you use that?
