you're going to run into problems with BeOS here, since its socket
interface isn't compatible with anything. I've seen some reference to a
patched network library for BeOS, but was unable to find a copy that might
work (recalling only that I found some code that could never have worked
;-).
I don't mind hacking C, I just come out in a rash hacking configure
scripts.
I've a BeOS R4.5 with a workable network interface (and lynx won't connect
via that) and a BeOS 5.0 - but no workable network interface. (Since it's
one of 15 OS's on the same box, I'm reluctant to change the hardware around
at random to search for a workable network card...).
I have a fully working network card (I can telnet in and use netpositive
to get out), on a dedicated machine (?20 at a fair yesterday ;-) )
It's probably a deeper hole than the network card. What I recall of it
was that BeOS didn't provide a documented network interface. The socket
interface is different between 4.5/5.0 (so I couldn't use my 4.5 system to
make a usable fix for prospective 5.0's). But if you have some time to
investigate that, I can dig out the notes that I have...
One thing that I do recall is that the socket interface wouldn't apply to
terminal connections, so the code in lynx which handles keyboard
interupts would have to be modified to avoid interfering with the
network connection. Past that - I don't know (the patch that I saw for
making lynx do network connection in 5.0 relies on code that I couldn't
find).

this could be a scripting error

checking for ncurses version... no
Let me know if you want any more info for those two.
I'll check on these this evening, to see. Your comment says you're
looking a 2.8.5 - the development version is preferred (since it's more
likely to work ;-).
