you can check which or apropos command that shows you situtation msg that command was loaded in system or not. or if you loaded manually may be it is in /opt you have to give exact way of the link command.

'links'? what is it that you're trying to do?
do you mean 'lynx'?

There is more than one textmode browser in the world. As vgersh99 suggests, your system might have lynx. Or it might have links2. If it doesn't have any of them, ask your sysadmin to install one.

here is the intel version, here is the sparc version. I'm guessing you'll also find lynx-2.8.<something>.pkg.zip on your install CD's somewhere. Once you have them, you can install packages with pkgadd as detailed here.
