There is supposedly preliminary table and frames support but no sign of it 
at the sites I tested.

retawq works in X (links are blue on black or black on blue but you can 
probably change the colors in config) with my serial mouse.
So do elinks, links2, and w3m.

lynx (uclibc or glibc static) does not work with the mouse.

You can number your links in lynx, links, links2, elinks (though I cannot 
find a way to make this permanent - toggle with .).

I configured it to use SSL but it would not compile.

Let me know if you get persistent cookies working with retawq.  Or Dillo.
No automatic redirection either (maybe that needs cookies?).

I have copied BL2 (glibc) shutdown command to BL3 since rebooting 
automatically logs in and dials.  script 's' shutdown -h now.

There is an 8MB ttylinux that uses retawq - for rescue CD.  glibc 2.9 and 
a 2.5-3.5MB kernel.
