The version on jazz is very old -- 2.3 BETA.  I ran it for a while and found
it to be somewhat buggy.  I found a better solution using Linux.  Lynx comes
bundled with the Red Hat and Slackware distros and probably others as well.
In any case they support the latest versions of Lynx.

With the Linux box on the same segment as the HP3000, I now telnet a
terminal session to the Linux box and automatically initiate a lynx session
under a special username.  You can use an alternate Lynx config file in the
user's home directory to turn on/off functions.  For instance - if you want
to restrict access to a single site, you can disable the "go" command.

Hope this helps.
