I think that the PCWorld article was probably referring to the fact that 
an 8088 (or even a weaker computer) may be used to access an ISP who 
provides lynx to shell accounts.  If you live in or near Maryland, you 
may connect to the Sailor Network (local call from everywhere in the 
state) to try it out.  Any public library in the state can give you 
information on connecting to Sailor. 

You'll need a computer, modem, and comm software capable of emulating a 
common terminal, such as vt100 or vt102 (most comm software does that). 

Possibly, the author of the PCWorld magazine had something else in mind - 
commercial computer mags are pretty bad when it comes to reporting the 
facts about lynx, or any other freeware.  (It seems to me that they don't 
report things so much as they reprint press releases from the commercial 
vendors.)
