Here's some info on Lynx, a program that gives character-based access to 
Mosaic (i.e. World Wide Web) info. It runs on various UNIX and VMS 
machines.  All you have to do is dial in to the machine with a terminal 
emulator and modem. (Of course, the UNIX or VMS machine must have an 
internet connection). Thus, you get faster transfers and, most importantly 
for our present concerns, it's available to people who have Braille or 
Speech screen readers attached to their terminal emulator.

Lynx also gives access to ftp and gopher via the same interface.

Susan Brummel and others are also looking at this for interface to screen 
readers.

Lynx can currently be obtained by anonymous ftp from:
     ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the pub/lynx directory.

A descriptive page about Lynx can be viewed via Mosaic or Lynx itself via 
the address:

      URL: http://www.cc.ukans.edu/about_lynx/about_lynx.html         
   Owner(s): mailto:lynx-help@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu     

A listserv list has been created for information about Lynx and for 
notification of updates. The listserv is called:

     lynx-dev@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu.

You may sign-up by sending a message with "subscribe lynx-dev <your-name>" 
as the only line in the message to listserv@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu. DO NOT 
send subscribe requests to the lynx-dev list itself.
