I have. I can say that I've found it to be fast. Really fast, in
fact. However, it has its limitations.
There's a curses browser for Linux (and NetBSD, etc.,) that
renders pages in a terminal window rather faithfully. That is to say that
tables are rendered, forms work, and browsing a site like CNN looks like
CNN without graphics. It's called "Links" and, yes, it's a play on the
other browser "Lynx."
If there was a way (and I don't think there is) to port it, I'd
say that would be the best browser for Duos using the 14.4 modem.
