I guess we won't know for sure unless/until we hear back from him, but
dollars-to-doughnuts he meant just what he said.  His ISP doesn't
offer lynx, or it offers an antediluvian version, and/or he doesn't
know how to access it.  Since trfn.clpgh.org uses lynx as their telnet
interface, it seems reasonable (if inefficient) that he would be
telnetting in and using their lynx.
