How about:

time lynx -dump http://whatever 2>&1 >/dev/null | \
sed -n 's/^.*system//;s/elapsed.*$//p'

This should discard the output of lynx, show the output of the time
command on standard out, trow away most of the output of time.

You will still need to convert the time into a useable form for MRTG but
this should probably get you started.

An alternative approach would be to use the NET::telnet module from
perl, cannot help you (yet) with that.
