Re: [Lynx-dev] changing lynx default homepage from the comand line?

[Alejandro Lieber]

A very good BSD (Unix) shell can be found at sdf.org.

You have free usage of Lynx and Links, if you pay a small charge, you 
con configure your home account and adds a lot of Unix programs like 
Mutt, Alpine and SLRN.

The only problem is that there are no modern SSH program for MS-DOS that 
can access it (authentication problems).

You can still log to sdf.org using MS-DOS by Telnet. I regularly do it 
with a 80286 with a 720 KBy floppy running MS-DOS 2.11

Another free limited shell with Lynx. Links and eLinks is 
lynx.scramworks.net.
