I don't use Windows nor any other GUI but I wanted to access the World Wide Web.

I found out that one way to do this was by using LYNX which is a WWW browser,

You can run LYNX on your own machine. There is a DOS version and a UNIX version
.

Since I have never done this I can not answer any questions about that.

Another way to use LYNX is to telnet to a place that has it and use that gateway
to browse the WWW.

Now, you won't be able to see graphics but you should be able to read ALL the
text info. Recently I called YAHOO and I did some searches and then connected
via YAHOO to LYCOS and did more searches. I searched on three names:
Normandeau (me)
Frazier (my wife Rita Frazier Normandeau)
and Franco (the New York City Housing Authority Chairperson)
and got HITS on ALL THREE, not just for people with similar names but the actual
people that I was looking for.


Below is my Procomm Plus script that I use to log on to NOAA which has a LYNX
gateway.

You can use the script below or just manually do what is indicated.

; PROCOMM PLUS generated ASPECT script file - Editing may be required.
;
proc main
   pause 1
   transmit "telnet esdim.noaa.gov^M"
   waitfor "login: "
   pause 1
   transmit "lynx^M"
   waitfor "TERM = (ansi) "
   pause 1
   transmit "vt220^M"
endproc

If the gateway is busy, just try another time.

Let me know how you make out with the ones that have question marks. Email me at 
ray.normandeau@factory.com

Below is possible info on more LYNX-Telnet gateways and running a WWW browser on
your own computer. I have NEVER the things below. If you find you prefer what is
below, let me know and I may give it a try also. Email me at 
ray.normandeau@factory.com

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM the Usenet newsgroup dealing with browsers.

Minuet might be worth a try but I don't have the time to play with it.


                         BROWSERS ACCESSIBLE BY TELNET

   An up-to-date list of these is available on the Web as
   http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/FAQ/Bootstrap.html and should be
   regarded as an authoritative list.

   telnet.w3.org
          A telnettable browser provided by the W3 coalition.

   www.njit.edu
          (or telnet 128.235.163.2) Log in as www. A full-screen browser
          in New Jersey Institute of Technology. USA.


   info.funet.fi
          (or telnet 128.214.6.102). Log in as www. Offers several
          browsers, including Lynx.


                                MSDOS BROWSERS



   NOTE: These browsers require that you have SLIP, PPP or other TCP/IP
   networking on your PC. SLIP or PPP can be accomplished over phone
   lines. You can do this one of two ways: using a proper SLIP account,
   which requires the active cooperation of your network provider or
   educational institution, or using The Internet Adapter or SLiRP,
   products which simulate SLIP through your dialup Unix shell account.
   If you only have non-Unix based dialup shell access, or have no PC at
   home, your best option at this time is to run Lynx on the VMS (or
   Unix, or...) system you call, or telnet to a browser if you cannot do
   so.

   DosLynx
          DosLynx is an excellent text-based browser for use on DOS
          systems. You must have a level 1 packet driver, or an emulation
          thereof, or you will only be able to browse local files;
          essentially, if your PC has an Ethernet connection, or you have
          SLIP, you should be able to use it. DosLynx can view GIF
          images, but not when they are inline images (as of this
          writing). See the README.HTM file at the DosLynx site for
          details. You can obtain DosLynx by anonymous FTP from
          ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the directory pub/WWW/DosLynx; the URL is
          ftp://ftp2.cc.ukans.edu/pub/WWW/DosLynx/.

   Minuet
          An all-in-one Internet access package for MSDOS. Includes both
          text-mode and graphics-mode display. Available by anonymous FTP
          from minuet.micro.umn.edu in the directory
          pub/minuet/latest/minuarc.exe.
          THIS ONE IS MORE RECENT THEN THE ONE ON Invention Factory

Ray Normandeau

See Ray Normandeau, who has appeared as a "nerd" with plaid shirt and thick
glasses on:
	Nickelodeon's "Adventures of Pete and Pete"
	as well as on
	"Late Night With Conan O'Brien"
	at
		http://www.rbdc.com/~hgambill/conanpic.htm
		"JOYCE WANKABLE's
		favorite moments from recent broadcasts of
		"Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
		...
		Another clip featured "a.f.cob" newsgroup reader
		[36]Ray Normandeau playing one of the guests on "ANDI."
