Lynx (/usr/ports/lynx) is a text mode http browser.

To install, connect to the Internet, and then run
the following commands as root:

$cd /usr/ports/lynx
$make install clean

Once Lynx is installed, use it this way:

$lynx www.example.com

I will warn you that playboy.com looks very
boring in Lynx, but you can browse it much
faster  8-)

Too big for an email.  Try www.freebsd.org/handbook
and navigate to chapter 5 ....
