Well....I have good new and bad news....

Using lynx it continues to work perfectly....

Using w3m it does not return an error but is NOT pushing the log
entries onto the syslog.  I did a quick grep on dlink and the only
entries showing up are the ones showing the crontab running every 5
minutes...so apparently w3m still needs tweaking.

Well, thanks for the help.  I've included the ability to use w3m in
the
new beta I put onto the sourceforge.net page this morning.  I figure

that 9 times out of 10 either lynx or w3m will be in the users path
so I
made a simple variable where you tell it lynx or w3m.
Took the time to make the script more modular too ;)

If you'd like to give the beta a shot, I'd be most appreciative.  If

not, I'll take the time later in the week to install w3m and try it
out
   with the script.  I've tested it with Lynx and it runs fine.
