Forms and accessibility issues

I've been working for a couple weeks now on a text only version of a
site. One concern I have is forms, which although have passed bobby
aaa, I'm wondering how those with dissabilities handle forms.

What about drop down boxes (for instance on of my forms has a place
for the user to select the country they are from with about 50
countries listed) does the user have to sit while the browser reads
every choice?

When using the Lynx viewer it would not read information in drop down
boxes at all?
