Typical - they've gone and moved it - it's now at: telnet.w3.org
just log on and type GO <URL>. The on-line manual
says it will run in interactive mode ( for entering search
patterns and the like I suppose, ) but I haven't figured
out how yet, so haven't delved into the database proper.
No pictures yet, ( at least I couldn't get at Rick's portrait. )
There appears to be a client program available to download files
from the site via telnet - details on the server ( I haven't had
time to check it out. ) This may be required for interactive mode...?

Have to confess I haven't tried these two myself. I'm told they
were working recently...

But lynx will let you download gifs - you just can't see them laid
out on the page...

Hmmm, perhaps if a few of us asked them very nicely... :)

If you're using Lynx I don't expect you'll want to stick with it, but
it's better than nothing if you've only got Email. I don't know if
it will run interactively - I mailed the admin, but haven't heard back
yet.
