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...
