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? Thanks, Walt ------_=_NextPart_001_01C20254.79616690 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.5.2653.12"> <TITLE>Getting to the internet</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hi All,</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2> I'm new to the list and while I'm a = professional programmer working on a mainframe, I am ignorant of Lynux = and so forth (by the way, first, what is the correct pronunciation of = lynux, please?).</FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2> Next, I hope to purchase a personal-use = PC next year, installing lynx on it.
