I used DPMI when I set up and installed Lynx386, the DOS version of the
Lynx text browser.  Lynx386 can do https SSL sites.  I believe, but am
not certain, that DPMI must be used with a DOS browser in order to do
SSL.  The only things I know about how to set up and install DPMI so 
that it can perform its functions come from information in the readme 
files in the Lynx386 download package.
