RE: 5250 e-mail reader

["Walden H. Leverich" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lynx is a text-based browser that's been around for ever. I don't know if it
could be easily ported to the AS/400 (PASE?) but it would be a starting
point. However I'm not sure I see the benefit to something like that, the
web is almost useless from a 5250 screen.

This is one of the things I have been thinking about for my 5250 PC
Termserver. The other thing I thought about (don't luagh....) is a text
based web browser.

So we should all have pet rocks on our desktops? (That was a little
self-deprecating humor.)
