I think you're going to be out of luck on this one, but if you do find a
solution, I'd be interested in it too.  There was some talk a while back
about porting Lynx to OS/400, but I don't know whether anything ever
came of it.  Lynx is a text-only browser, and if it's written in C, as I
assume it must be, it should be possible to port it; but I expect there
would be display difficulties...

Cheers,

Martin.
