What string did you end up using ...?

Actually, does anyone have a list of candidate strings to try when
trying to access a recalcitrant site?

I've been trying to access  <http://www.850koa.com/>  and/or
<http://www.koaradio.com/>  for awhile now, but haven't hit on

Actually, I was thinking about something along those lines, but a bit
more generalized, so that one could "tune" lynx on a site-by-site
basis (User Agent, TagSoup/SortaSGML, etc).
