Nice! Actually, why Lynx? Arachne would be graphical... > I ran dhcp through mTCP and then edited wattcp.cfg manually. I guess > now I should try and automate some stuff.

Interesting question indeed. > I have a question about lynx I went to YouTube.com and was going to > search for a video and lynx asked me to download an application. That probably is Flash. There is no official Flash for DOS, but it might be possible to port the open source clone GNASH to DOS. > Just wondering if it is safe to download the application? Yes but it would not run. > And will lynx need software to run, like will a lot of sites want > me to download applications and software? As far as I remember, many modern formats are not supported depending on which DOS browser you use. For example CSS, new HTML 4 / 5 features and JavaScript. Even HTTPS / SSL is not always supported in DOS web browsers. I guess others on this list can give you more details about which browser has what. > I wonder with YouTube how would dos play a video? Youtube uses Flash FLV and MPEG4 MP4 videos as far as I know and you should be able to play those with MPXPLAY for DOS or maybe with a port of MPLAYER, the latter maybe supported by the HX or HXRT DOS extender. However, only a limited set of AC97 and HDA sound chips is supported, so I am curious which chip you have (or simulate, if you use a virtual PC) and if some media players for DOS support it. As for the virtual PC topic - of course it is easier to use VLC / MPLAYER / Media Player Classic in your host system (MacOS, Linux, Win) then.
