I have been using the Arachne dialer (miniterm) with lynx for DOS. 
Arachne specifies things like DNS numbers and port in arachne.cfg, and 
also I think some other things relevant to Arachne being online.
Arachne works offline.  So this is two related pieces - dialer and 
browser.  Leading me to think you could use just the browser, online, 
after dialing with linux.

If arachne.cfg matched the eznet config file, might Arachne be able to use 
the linux ppp connection?  Has anyone actually tried it?

Thanks.  I will try zgv in workspace 1 and xdosemu/WP51 in 2.  Or maybe in 
two windows in one workspace if I can figure out how to make one 80 
columns.

[ ] worked with zgv.  I don't know why but it starts with the lowest 
resolution (640).  The next one (800?) scrambled my screen, one after 
that (1024) worked.  My monitor won't do 1280.  I think there is some zgv 
config file you can use to specify the default.  I need the man file.
/ for options did not work.  --help did
