http://www.comcast.net/comcast.html/ is where you eventually wind up when you access comcast.net. I find no log in with lynx although I do find one with ie. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 10:22 PM Subject: Re: User agent Earlier today, three folks here posted strings that can be used. Here they are, separated by blank lines, just in case, so you know what's in them: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Now, where you put one of these: Do o for options. From here on it depends on how you've configured your lynx browser, because there are, I think, three different interfaces to the options screens. One of them is an actual web page interface. You're looking for "user agent." When you find it you'll see the lynx version designation. It's an edit field, so just clear it out with Ctrl-u and put one of the above strings in with the Speakup clipboard. If you have the older (and my preferred) single-char command interface, the "user agent" selection is performed with the capital A. This takes you to an edit field that you clear with Ctrl-u and then fill from the Speakup clipboard, as above. Once you do this, just do left arrow to return to lynx. Test your work by going to Raul's web page. It should tell you that you're using whichever of the strings you put in. PS: You can also edit your .lynxrc, but there's no reason to make this a permanent thing, unless you really want to.
