Next, I hope to purchase a personal-use PC next year, installing lynx on it. I know my first decision will be to select which brand(?) of lynx to use; but, looking ahead beyond that point, I'm wondering how would I connect to the internet. Would it be a matter of finding an ISP which accepts lynx users and simply using its browser? And, also, I know web sites are accessed by domain names but how would a lynux user access the same site? or can you? would I use an IP address instead?
