   A while ago I recall you saying that, when you were doing contract work, you were able to browse NIS through a terminal.
   
   
   What were you using? IS it a program? I did a quick google search and was curious how you were doing this. I figured I would clarify on what you were actually doing in order to ensure I remember the details properly so I'm not going on a wild goose chase.

   Not sure, but I think that links2 is more commonly included with distros nowadays than lynx

   It was just a small program that relayed the HTTP responses to a readable format in my terminal.

   It's a program called "elinks", which I believe is a descendant of lynx with a few extra features. It's a text-mode web browser. In theory it works for any website that does serverside rendering, but in practice a lot of sites end up pretty jank.
