If you couldn't get lynx installed, try "links" or "wget". infact wget would be easier, as you can set the proxy settings easily through the command line. For lesser beings, like me, who are stuck with M$, with no links/lynx/wget/ping, what we do is this: telnet <server> <port> if there is a proxy inbetween telnet <proxy> <port> and then use it to connect to the actual term. (WGET is far easier) -- Natarajan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
