Unfortunately, Lynx is the one program which seems to break most VT100
emulators.  Outside of ProTerm, the only acceptable program which I have
found is Kermit.  But, while it does not choke on Lynx, it does display
both the inactive and active links in reverse text.  This makes webpages
difficult to navigate, but you should slowly aquire an ability to find
the link which you want to select.

(BTW - I have tried agate, kermit, megaterm, proterm and zlink.  Of which,
agate and megaterm use IIgs graphics modes to render things not very
well either.)

Hope this helps,
Byron.
