 "What capabilities does the Lynx text-only Web browser offer?" from the Ask Dave Taylor! Tech Support Blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
First off, odds are good that you have Lynx on your computer already (try typing “which lynx” or “locate lynx” to find out) but if you aren’t lucky or you find that you have a really old version (the current version is 2.8.5), pop over to http://lynx.isc.org/ and you’ll find plenty of different download options.
Lynx is also available for Mac OS X and various flavors of Windows, so even if you’re not a hard-core Unix/Linux type, you can still reap most of the benefits of this terrific utility.
Lynx is also good for reminding you what your site will look when you’re on a cellphone connection, since the current generation of cellphone Web browsers render text only and barely understand line breaks, let alone anything more sophisticated.
