How many different web text browsers are there?
Does anyone know the different HTTP_USER_AGENT strings for each of the different text browsers?

TLD, i've been thinking about that too, the problem is that it varies soooo much.
the basic structure seems to be someting like.
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
i got a slick little php script to get that info.

I only use Lynx here at work, and know of some people using w3m (isn't that what it's called?) but would like to know others so that I can properly format a table. :)
Such is the life of a text-friendly site. :)

Like binaryDigit said. The two big ones are links and w3m.
BTW, I personally use links, but I never tried w3m so I can't vouch for it, good or bad.
