lynx-dev unanswered: DOS & blind users

[Philip Webb]

990727 Paul Needham ( address@hidden ) inquired: 
> My father in law (who is blind) requires a good web browser for his PC.
> He accesses the internet via Demon, which currently uses NetTamer,
> which he is finding extremely difficult to use.
> I believe Demon uses DOS-based systems,
> can LYNX be used as a replacement for NetTamer ?
 
the Lynx DOS expert is Doug Kaufman, who may have overlooked your message.
the site for DOS Lynx is  www.rahul.net/dkaufman/ ;
you can find starting-points for blind users via
 www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/lhfb.html .

AFAIK you father-in-law should be able to use Lynx on his DOS machine.
members of the blind community seem to find Lynx acceptable
for use with speech synthesisers & similar equipment.
