i still use lynx as my browser on older (hence slower) sparcstations.
more and more sites require a secure version (https) for access, but
there are no precompiled lynx-ssl packages available in the us (it is
illegal).

is there an faq or other document which lays out the path to compile
lynx-ssl on solaris 2.7 (sparc 2) and solaris 2.9 (sparc10)? i have
already compiled ssh for 2.7, and 2.9 comes with it.

Never tried it, as I think the web is pretty much designed for graphical
browsers now.

But a quick google gives "SSL support for Lynx 2.8.5pre.1" - see

http://lynx.isc.org/current/README.ssl

where is says you need openssl

http://www.openssl.org/

and need to pass the --with-ssl option to the configure script of lynx.

A google with the words "ssl" and "lynx" gives plenty of relavant
looking hits.
