If lynx doesn't work, it a far more serious problem than this. Many of the web tools for the visually impaired are based on lynx, or have the same sort of limitations. If lynx can't access the attbi instruction pages, the chances are that they've locked out a lot of handicapped people, too. There are moves afoot to use the handicapped-access laws to fight web sites that require graphical interfaces. This is turning into a serious issue now that a lot of organizations (especially government agencies) are moving to the web as their primary means of access.
