The program is called lynx. I use it all the time. Here is from the user
guide.
Lynx Users Guide v2.8.2
Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running
cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100
terminals, vt100 emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other
character-cell display). It will display Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML) documents containing links to files on the local system, as
well as files on remote systems running http, gopher, ftp, wais, nntp,
finger, or cso/ph/qi servers, and services accessible via logins to
telnet, tn3270 or rlogin accounts (see URL Schemes Supported by Lynx).
Current versions of Lynx run on Unix, VMS, Windows95/NT, 386DOS and
OS/2 EMX.
