  Just asking, but can SLIP/PPP do telnet or http?  I think those are the
  only protocols for the public access lynx's.  Need a telnet or WWW client
  on the PC?
  
Yes.  SLIP and PPP extend the 'Net one link beyond the basic
TCP/IP net.  Telnet and HTTP etc. are protocols that run over
this foundation.  The great explosion in Internet use in the
U.S. is via Netscape and its competitors running on PCs which
participate in the 'Net by making a PPP connection, and then
talking HTTP [and NNTP and POP..] over that connection.
