2-3 is before the Ark & then some:
goto  lynx.browser.org  to find the latest 2-7-2;
2-8 is expected to be out shortly.
if you have any further problems updating Lynx,
ask your sysadmin or ask again here.

i had no trouble accessing their Online Hotline using 2-7
& then going to their paid-job listing.
the problem may be that their HTML uses  <FONT>  in that line,
which may not have been known back in the days of 2-3.
Lynx developers -- an international volunteer co-op -- try to keep it
upto date with WWW developments, tho' there's lots of bad HTML out there.
