Did you find this IAT kit at the site below?  I could not.

BL3 can browse the internet using links WITHOUT color VGA or a mouse.
I wonder if it could be fit into a 1-floppy version.  I found a few more 
small bits of X that could be removed.  Also e3vi (leaving e3pi) and 
setleds.  And all the man pages (99K total). I forget how large links is - 
300K?

If not, I think you could still put links (and the slhc and ppp modules) 
on a second floppy disk and copy them to the 4MB ram0 (which has 2MB free) 
and run links from ramdisk in 8MB.
