   Linux apps as doors

   I've been trying to set up some Linux apps as doors on a WWIV BBS to make an   
   old-school-ish gateway to internet stuff. I'm trying to keep the board as   
   widely accessible as possible, so you can connect from PC, Atari, Commodore,   
   Apple, etc. You just need an 80 column terminal usually. I having some trouble   
   with the ctrl-J/ctrl-M (CR/LF) thing and wouldn't mind some advice on that if   
   you know what I'm talking about.   
      
   I'm using SLRN for usenet news, which seems to work pretty well.   
      
   There's a really basic IRC client called SIC that I found to work with most   
   platforms I "dial in" with..   
      
   Both lynx and links, though, seem to not be very good at showing any websites   
   these days. I'm not sure why, but for example if I try to browse to Yahoo.com,   
   it gives me "Illegal redirection URL received from server!". This may be   
   partly because I'm running it with the options to disallow various things for   
   security, since it's being run by multiple users and such.   
      
   Has anyone reading this base attempted anything like this?   
      
   Any recommendations for new or different apps that can help with what I want   
   to accomplish?
