Some people like to use tables to organize links as a menu to the left or right of content when using graphical browsers. That does not work very well with text browsers since they will make the menu appear either on top of the page or at the bottom. If you have a menu that is more than 30 lines long, then it's very probable that a user viewing the page will never bother to read the text because it will be too far down. You should make an effort to keep such menus under 20 lines long so that the content of the page is visible on the first page when viewing it with a text browser. A menu bar of one or two horizontal lines might accomplish your purpose as well.
