I think I won't be able to use it. 99% of time I browse using lynx.
Downloads are handled using either ncftp or (preferably) wget. Any site
not supporting lynx is ignored (well, unless there is something very
special about it)

Why the hell would I install apache just to configure diald? For instance
I have installed last week a small linux server, used in a LAN with less
than 10 Win'95 machines. It is used just as mail server and gateway to
internet, dialing out whenever necessary. Since the company's web pages
are hosted on the ISP's server, I did not (and I will not) install apache.

Yeap. I'd rather stick to a linuxconf plugin.
