There is no trouble using a //e, a //c, or a 2gs to roam the
web with Lynx as long as you do 2 things:

1) when starting up Lynx, use the command
      "Lynx -show_cursor"
This will allow you to see where you are by having the
cursor blink on the location.

2) If using a //c or //e, the number 4 is left arrow, the
number 8 is up arrow, the number 6 is right arrow, and the
number 2 is down arrow. These work more consistently than
using the actual arrows on the keyboard.

If you are getting spurious garbage periodically, you
are experiencing a noise problem, either in hardware or
on the line, or you are not configured properly for your
host computer. I am using a //e with Proterm 3.1 with no
problems whatsoever.
