Even better is Links, which has great table support and, imo, is all-in-all a better browsing experience than Lynx:

http://links.sourceforge.net/

Last I tried, I was able to run configure and make install and *poof*, links was up and running.  If you have any issues, feel free to give me a yell.

If you're running OS 9 on an older iBook, you've got two choices:
MacLynx: http://www.lirmm.fr/~gutkneco/maclynx/  (pretty old version)
WannaBe: http://mindstory.com/wb2/

There's a decent article on the difference here:

I tend to use links via ssh and another Mac running OS X with my Powerbook 1400, and WannaBe natively when I don't have ssh access -- or MacLynx if I need cookies or form support, etc.
