Re: [Lynx-dev] banks that work with lynx

[Karen Lewellen]

Just a few thoughts.
Depending on your setup, lynx can work with paypal.  not a bank, but an 
example that banks need not table lynx.
The claim is always that lynx is a security risk, more so than java 
focused browsers...this is what the banks claim.
additionally some banks by accident  allow lynx to work via their m url.
m.nameofbank.com
but you must ask about this.
I say as much because the use of lynx should still be a reasonable 
accommodations.  Java is not necessary for basic banking, and of course its 
use presents many issues for individuals with a number of disability 
experiences.
I am still  seeking one myself, and will do no on line banking with no 
accessible door.
speaking of twitter  for those who do it.  I understand there is a very 
lynx friendly program ttytwitter, <spelling> that works with twitter very 
well 
indeed.
