Browsing WEB Without a Graphical Interface
Lynx
A good alternative for users without a graphical environment is Lynx.
Lynx is a full screen browser for WWW using arrows and tab keys, cursor addressing highlighted or numbered links to navigate within the web. Lynx has no image or sound capabilities: any images or sounds are replaced by a tag at display time and the corresponding files can be retrieved separately. Unlike the line mode browser, documents containing embedded images or enhanced document formats (e.g. formulaires) are handled properly by Lynx.
A demonstration version of Lynx is available using Telnet to www.cc.ukans.edu (login as www).
Implementations for various Unix flavors and for VMS are available for anonymous FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the directory /pub/WWW/lynx.
Examples:
