hi rachel and gang

i read the ny times using lynx and have been experiencing problems also.
when i traced the source of the errors i found that the times web site
goes thru so many re-directions to get to the article that it overflows
the limits of the lynx browser.  i don't know if this is the same problem
you are having but you can add it to the pile.
