1.  links-ssl in /tmp works with BL3.  I copied it from BL2 after mounting 
the BL2 partition, and also put a copy in c:\haslin for later use (I 
expect /tmp to disappear on reboot).

2.  It works fine from CLI, but I got tired of the screen shifting left 
and right in webmail (which is more than 80 col even with frames turned 
off) so I tried it in X at 800 resolution.  The smaller fonts help, but 
the arrow keys (up and down) don't work in the login screen.  I had to use 
the mouse.  I did a reply to list and the arrow keys worked at the top of 
the screen (to: etc) but would not take me past Subject line to message 
body and I had to use the mouse.  No matter where I clicked in the 
message body area, it put me at the end after the previous message so I 
started typing there.  Then I tried moving around with the mouse and tried 
to go back to the end of message body and it put me two lines up instead.

I am not going to use links-ssl in X again, can't navigate properly.
The solution is to use CLI with more columns, but BL3 is not set up for 
using other fonts.  

3.  Three times I wrote webmail reply or posting and was not able to send 
it.  I had been disconnected.  Could not access other websites either.  I 
don't know if the problem is links-ssl (it happened in CLI not just X) or 
BL3 or the ISP misbehaving today.  If I can send this message (using BL2 
ramdisk, telnetted) I will try BL2 with links-ssl and webmail see if it 
disconnects.  

I have never before been disconnected from this ISP, in two months.
