This sounds like the Dynix host (or whatever machine your copy of Lynx
resides on) or its net connection is the source of the slowness. We're
running Lynx on the same machine as our Netscape server, and Lynx can
connect/display sites consistently faster than Netscape (even with
graphics turned off). Is Lynx as easy to navigate as Netscape? No.
