Re: changing lynx default homepage from the comand line?

Those are interesting choices.
My dsl provider blocked the use of port 22 for  ssh telnet a year or so 
back.
fortunately shellworld uses a different port number for ssh telnet, and my 
own  ms dos ssh telnet client meets with  no authentication issues coming 
here.
i still intend exploring what ssh telnet is incorporated in the DOS  djgpp 
project for  authentication,  some of it is tied to openssh dropping some 
forms of dh keys.
The freedos  list referenced a stand alone edition of links, which likely 
also surpasses the  authentication issue as it is described as being for 
modern  DOS  users.
Still, I admire your dedication.
I presently run ms dos 7.1 on a p3 with close to a gig of memory, but my 
computers  are custom built for me.
