Where can I get a copy of Lynx?

Why do you want LYNX? It's only a text browser [...]

Amazingly enough, there are still some beknighted folks whose access to
the Net is via a serial connection with character-mode terminal emulation
(e.g. VT100 or VT220). :-)

In my office, I use a serial connection, but I can walk a few steps down
the hall to the computer lab when I want to use Netscape or whatever. At
home, I don't have that option; all our dialup lines go to a terminal
server. PPP connections are coming in the fall, though... I can hardly
wait.
