Well, it didn't work, but I'm reporting back anyway.  Trying this returns
the message "Unknown option 640x480x16."  I get the same message no matter
what numbers I enter in, or in what order.  I tried prefixing a dash ("-")
and the equals sign ("=") before the numbers as well (e.g., -640x480x16),
but with the same results.  Maybe it was compiled in such a way that the
"mode" command is not working right?

I'm growing to like Links graphical, and become more and more convinced that
it is the right graphical browser for BL2.  I think it actually loads and
displays pages a bit faster than Opera or BrowseX on this machine, though
I have yet to do a timing test.  Have other people had any success running
it on BL2?  So far, about the only real problems I've encountered involve
https sites.  I did try to visit Excite.com, which uses alot of java.  The
page didn't display correctly, but the browser didn't crash or anything.
More feedback on Links2 anyone?
