Alternative to Image Map for LYNX users

	Hello.  In an effort to upgrade and improve the look of our
library home page, I have designed an image map navigational banner
at the top of our page (this is just a trial version for now):

http://www.stockton.lib.ca.us/welcome.htm

	The page looks fine in Netscape and works properly there.
However, since we still have dumb terminals in many locations at our
library, I am trying to keep a version alive for LYNX.
	My question is this.  Is there an HTML trick which would allow the
image map only to display in Netscape.  I have tried various alt=
phrases within the <img src=....> section and they either don't work
or cause Netscape to display the map and the old fashioned text
links.  This looks terrible and defeats the purpose of the image map,
because the graphic user sees the choices on the map and then as text.
	Any assistance people can provided would be appreciated greatly.
Thank you in advance.
