Lynx can be used from a IIGS (or //e, or II+). Mosaic requires a direct
Internet connect, and is therefore not even theoretically possible
before SLIP or some such materializes for the II; even then, it seems
unlikely (because of screen resolution?). If a machine can use Linux
(currently PC's, but it's reportedly being ported to PowerMacs), one can
use XMosaic without a direct connection, provided of course that the
site you are connecting to has X (and XMosaic).
