I also find this to be the case, when ever forms are involved
a Mr "unsmiley appears" saying somthing like:
>NO TITLE<///....
The links don't appear to be down loaded, the web pages are
incomplete....strange...I've no idea why this happens, the same
happens when I try to get pages that are veryyyy long.
I used AtariNos to telnet to the Birmingham university site
lynx server and I had no problem sending in my forms,although
it would'nt allow connection to the futurenet sight, it let
me have all the others I wanted.
The lynx server is text only, but it's fairly quick with some
time lag...and then by using cab, you are registered and can
access the rest of the pages with pictures
It works, it's a little "faffy" and the lynx server is'nt
too difficult, but is a bit basic but it does the job.
STFormat tell you how to log on to the lynx site in issue 70,
page 62. Lynx asks you for a terminal emulation I found vt52
worked for my monochrome moniter STE setup.
Let me know if it works for you
