Besides lynx, there are three DosLynx variations or versions:
The "Real Mode" 16-bit version is named DosLynx.
The 16-bit Protected Mode version is named DosLynxP.
And, the 32-bit Protected Mode version is named DosLynxS.

The main trick comes in providing a DOS Packet Driver to the Windows DOS window,
discussed in the following two URL's:

Hi Thomas,
Here is a 16-bit lynx demo w/source-code:

It should run out-of-the-box on windows XP, using a virtual packet driver and:

This 16-bit lynx OLD build handles HTML OK, but the SMTP server code has no 
authentication.
Can AUTH LOGIN be patched into a new compile?

Thanks,
Larry
