I also use links2 and I tried to contact the author a few months ago with little success as well.

Are you using graphics mode, which is GLINKS.bat in the BIN folder? This seems to work better than text mode on my machine.

What is in your WATTCP.txt file, which is also in the BIN folder?

Have you tried Arachne, another DOS web browser?
