using /dev/null does as expected but not much use to me as far as I can tell. What would be better to me, I think, would be able to specify a page, local or otherwise, to go to in the event of a non-existent URL - either at startup or any time. Looks like in the short term I'll always start with a local file and require the user to press a "start" link to get to the server the first time.
thanks for your help...BTW I have had great success with lynx on this small device.
