Using Puppy Linux 2.4.31 and xhost, Xvesa with 24-bit color, I find that 
both links and dillo act the same way as with BL - links2 draws text one 
letter at a time, dillo is faster but crashes at the slashdot link with a 
memory fault and color is not #RRGGBB format.

cjb does not work with Puppy or BL.  rxvt can't open display.  Same 
display that works with sdf.   Anyone else want to try cjb?  They have a 
nice package system that installs all the dependencies (installhome links 
also got libjpeg, libtiff, libXaw....).

visualserver now has both mutt and pine.  Root has been really helpful, 
and besides installing them (and fonts) sent me instructions how to set 
pine to use their mail directory.  Lynx downloaded there for me five times 
as fast as at cjb.  SDF is now super fast.  1M/sec downloads, instant 
access with pine to my 4000 piled-up mails.  You do need to pay (once) to 
use more than the basics.  visualserver is linux and the others BSD.  cjb 
is set up for installing your own packages . visualserver offers 1GB space 
even in free accounts.

These are all great bargains.
