We are using Lynx to provide web access to mainframe users.
However, we are _not_ doing it on the mainframe. There is a
commercial software package installed on the mainframe called
A-Net, which provides the users with a script-driven telnet
client.
The users select this application and are automatically
connected and logged into their account on a UNIX machine
dedicated for the purpose of hosting Lynx sessions for these
people. Lynx is launched by the user's .profile.
Someone else mentioned other browsers that really run on
mainframes. I don't know if those were considered for our
environment. That was before my time.
