You can sneeze funny and get 30 gung-ho techies to
create a new flavor

Linux but nobody seems to want to work on a Web Browser
that can work on
classic hardware? (besides Lynx of course :-)

Simple because it's impossible, they believe that! ;)
Of course there's Newdeal Software and they have a small browser that

I just checked, it does. That's the name of the outfit I've been trying to
remember! They're the old Geoworks Ensemble.
Basically they look to be the cooliest PC software company! Though they're
claim to be for any PC is no longer true since they no longer support the
8086, and haven't for about 3 years, IIRC.

I'm afriad I've no idea, but I would expect that it doesn't. I somehow
doubt Java (of any form) would work on a 286 (really don't know though).
You bring up a sad point, without Java and Javascript capability, as well
as Frames, etc. you're blocked from a lot of the WWW these days :^(
