For example the exchange including your message
<http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0499/msg00026.html>.
But I didn't mean to imply that there's an overwhelming number of
those; just that of users that need help with basic network setup
problems, most seem to be 386 binary users.

But as long as there are older (less well packaged, I assume) packages
around, with pointers to them, there will be people downloading them
and then maybe having unnecessary difficulties. (It isn't clear to me,
just from following links starting with http://lynx.browser.org/,
which would be the currently most up-to-date and complete package;
but I'm just commenting as a bystander, having never tried any of
the Lynx386 packages.)
