One place to check is the site below in my sig.
DOSLynx has been replaced in favor of Bobcat (Lynx 2-4-2?) awhile
back. For 386+ machines there's a few Lynx386's out there.
FYI, Lynx386 (being a DJGPP app) won't work with Caldera's DPMI.
Easily remedied by the DPMI=OFF then ON again in the lynx batch file.

So far all the clients I have work fine with DR-DOS with the exception
of Net-Tamer. In my case as long as the MULTI parm is set in the
emm386 line, the modem won't init properly (ERRORs). 
Seems to work okay with MULTI=OFF.
