I have libresolv-2.3.1.so ; libresolv.so.2 ; libnss_dns-2.3.1.so and
libnss_dns.so.2

Browsing directories as the same output as browsing the net: it shows
nothing.
It is strange because I have no error or complain message and it shows it is
connecting, the speed of connection ..

According to your test of the RAM needed by lynx, links2, Elinks, the last
seems not to be suitable for my low Ram (12 Mb) 486. But if possible I would
like to try.


Any idea?

Thank you again.
Regards,
Giuseppe
