Not for long, hopefully...

And as for Lynx, you should have mentioned that it requires a connection to 
a *NIX account (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, FreeSCO, etc).

Fortunately, you can build such a machine for next to nothing and with very 
little effort.  For a quick start, I highly recommend cobbling together an 
old 486/DX-33 and installing FreeSCO.  Then you can set up a null-modem 
connection from your Apple II to telnet into the FreeSCO router and run 
Lynx from there to cruise the net.

More info on FreeSCO can be found here:

You will be pleasantly surprised at the minimum requirements for a FreeSCO 
dialup router, BTW.  :D

Hope the above info helps.
