Incidently, the Vancouver CommunityNet has recently done the same kind of
switch, from Freeport to Lynx.  You can take a look at our interface by
telnetting to vcn.bc.ca and logging in as 'guest'.  We did however decide
to leave Tin and Pine as the Usenet and E-mail readers, respectively,
because each are much more powerful applications designed for their
respective tasks.  Lynx is primarily intended for web browsing, with just
basic newsreading and mail-sending support.
