Re: lynx - not all sites readable

Links can be made to work accessibly; elinks cannot.  Last version of 
elinks I used I couldn't find any setting in it to number links.
w3m runs stuff a bit differently but can be blocked by javascript on 
sites.  The creator of the web is frustrated with the way it turned out 
and specifically for accessibility reasons.  He wasn't blind from birth 
either.
