While you can run lynx on a system with those resources, with a
2400 baud modem you are likely to find web browsing too slow.
Not spending money on your computer will cost you money for your
ISP.  You can run a modem program on the 486 and use lynx from a
shell account.  But you will pay a premium for the account.

A lot of information about Lynx is served via HTTP.  This may be
found, for example, by starting at

   http://lynx.browser.org/

If you must pursue information about Lynx without a working Web
browser, please look for an email-to-Web gateway that works for
you.  More information on accessing the Internet by email is
available from the access-via-email FAQ.  To get this document by
