Question elinks/links/lynx/w3m for K3?

i've just started using launchpad and myts in order to be able to ssh from my kindle keyboard. the keyboard is a litle clumsy for special characters, but it's the best weight-to-screensize ratio i've ever had for ssh. nice work folks -- thanks!

but today at a coffeeshop (local Dunkin Donuts) i couldn't use the wifi because the K3's built-in browser wouldn't redirect properly to their "click to agree" page -- it just hung.

it occurred to me that having a text browser available at the kindle's shell prompt might be handy at times like that. i don't know that it would have worked today, but it might have.

so: are there any pre-built text browsers available? (if there's a big archive of native kindle binaries somewhere, i guess this would be a good time for me to learn about it.)
