That version of lynx is my preferred retro-PC browser.  I use
https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html to get updated certificates.  Also, the
command line option to accept all cookies eliminates a lot of bother.
Unfortunately, it seems to be removed from djgpp so I'm glad to see FreeDos
is hosting it.  I'm not sure what it would take to compile a more recent
version, but would encourage anybody with the know-how to give it a try.

I've also used the links browser in the past with some success, though I
will briefly note that the last time I tried it I could not get it
working.  Also, there are stability issues - it crashes in GUI mode after a
few pages.  Lynx, however, appeared quite stable.
