If your ISP has a shell server, they will usually have Lynx which is a text
only browser. You can simply dial in using a terminal program like Telix.
Actally using a non-gui browser can be considerably faster, since you don't
have to download all those "pretty" pictures. Some sites don't support
text-only but they're sites most "geeks"like us aren't interested in
anyway.
The MSDos I-net program of choice however seems to be "Net-Tamer"
which is readily available. I'm sending you a FIDO post from a year or so ago
reviewing the many various programs under separate cover.
