This is a Macintosh question, not a Lynx one.

The designers of telnet expected you to use ftp for this purpose.

Also, if you have TCP, the expectation these days would be that you would
run the browser locally.

However, the MS-DOS and Unix versions of Kermit will double as telnet clients
and KA9Q under MS-DOS will run zmodem over rlogin.  This is generally done
in order to support BBS systems that had been given TCP access, but I think
these are in decline these days.

There may be Macintosh equivalents, but it is unlikely that anyone would 
start on one now if they don't exist.
