Subject: Re: Getting a page through an authenticated proxy
Thank you for the reply but I need to know the actual command structure if possible, in order to do further things later. I have lynx and use it fairly regularly, I guess what I'm asking is 'how does lynx do it'

Any browser available to your login on the 172.21.1.5 host that will work well with your telnet session as its terminal.
Try asking "which lynx" and "which links" for text browsers [1] available on
the host.
