(It does not have ssl support.)

The one I compiled does have ssl support.  You can use it in text mode.

First make a shorter symlink in /usr/local/bin.
ln -s links2-1pre33-svgalib-ssl links2

Then type links2

I don't know if there is some way to use it in text mode without the 
dependencies, if you don't need them.  If you like I will recompile it 
without graphics, or zlib, or libbz2, but for glibc 2.2.5 since that is 
what I am set up for.

If you don't look at huge images in graphics mode it should work fine with 
12MB RAM and a 24MB swap partition or file.

Does it need dynamic openssl libraries?  What does ldd tell you?

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/openssl-solibs-0.97-i386-1-SW81.tgz

contains the dynamic libraries for openssl from Slackware 8.1
(which should work if you added glibc from SW8.1 or 9.0).
openssl version 0.97 is required for security.
