I was wondering this myself at first.  A little research results that you can
make entire "trees" or directories of web pages secure.  You would need an
account name and password to access any secure pages.  This is done with the
web server software.

There was a comment about how much Lynx users would miss out with a web-based
service (ok, the actual term was "flashy").  A well designed web site can look
good with Netscape and still be have the same "look" with Lynx.  I think the
web pages I have done at work (http://www.the-hermes.net) look just as good
with Lynx as it does with Netscape 1.1 (the graphics help with the look if you
don't mind waiting for them to download).

One idea I had was get in contact with the Softdisk programmers so they could
submit programs to this service if there was enough 8-bit interest.
