Can any nice person out there help?

I'm VERY new at this Internet lark, and wanted to use a lynx web-browser.

Problem is that it asks for a terminal type (having failed to recognize my
trusty Amiga) at which point I hit a wall.  The Demon tech line told me about
this browser (at RSL.OX.AC.UK), told me how to log on but didn't tell me
how to actually use it!  After a 40 minute hold trying to get through to them
again they said try telling it your terminal is a "NETWORK 24 80" which I
did, but it didn't know that type.

When I try to use VT100 I can see the text, but its all over the place!
And if I cursor around through the options I see the highlight moving, but
it goes all over the place, even off the top of the screen!

If its not possible to get AmigaNOS to talk like a VT100, does anyone know
a location of a web-browser that my Amiga can talk to?!  (If you do please
tell me everything about logging on...  I really don't have a clue yet!)

Can anyone help?  I'm getting to the point where I keep having to bang my
head on the wall!

(-=  Thanx in advance folx...
