You mean NetBSD has ActiveX support?  I thought that was MS-Windows-only.

I prefer things that stand still over things that move around on Web pages.

I currently use 32-bit DOS port from http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/
DOS port lacks the facility to stop a stuck or unexpectedly long download with
'z'.  Maybe something to do with the lack of multitasking?  This DOS port of
Lynx has difficulty on domain http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov with the weather pages
linked from http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/iwin/textversion/main.html
Some of the time, not on every page view, the download gets stuck near the end,
and all I can do is type Ctrl-C to terminate this Lynx.  I'd like to see if
Linux and NetBSD versions breeze through without problems.  OS/2 port had no
problems on this domain.  Linux and NetBSD versions might have to wait for that
new computer I've been shopping for.  Anything I do on this computer regarding
NetBSD would be essentially a preview.  I don't even know if my CD-ROM drive
(Texel internal SCSI, 2x) would handle NetBSD CDs, or if the installation or
generic kernel would recognize the SCSI (Trantor T130B).  With a new computer,
I would in all likelihood get a bootable ATAPI CD-RW drive, and of course, a
much bigger hard drive than I have now.
