No, as I work with it more it doesn't seem like there's a way to run lynx
on the Ogo. I'll keep trying. I'm definately not programming an
emulator, that's not my field. I hope someone else does though.

Someone was asking about modem type and battery performance.

The modem is a Zoom PCMCIA Faxmodem 28.8 v.34C.

Battery life has been not too bad. I definately want to find a way to
quickly download and upload mail, but do all the reading/writing off
line. (plus that'll help with those cellular bills, if I take the
plunge)

I've been using it frequently (more frequently than I would if I had the
off line system working) for the last two days on fresh lithiums, and I'm
now at 66% remaining. It dips down during use, I've seen it as low as
25%, but then it pops back up after removing the card.
