I did not installed links2 because I read in your site it is not sure it has
ssl support and because I have only 12 Mb RAM.
I downloaded lynx from your site and it works with ssl.
I wanted to have links (0.98 or any other version  with ssl) because it is
fast and easy to use for me.
The version of links 0.98 I installed needs openssl (before installation) as
stated on links site which I did not read carefully.

That would be great, go on!

Unfortunately I am a newbie :( but I think people of bl will help.

Thanks again.

Giuseppe
