I am fully online whenever I dial the (free) ISP.

Since you have glibc already, get Slackware 7.1 man2html

Make a script named man (or manh, or ...)

zcat `find /usr -name $1.*gz` | man2html | lynx -stdin

This should find man pages anywhere in /usr and display them.
(You will also need lynx).

or
zcat filename.gz | man2html > filename.html

and view with links (or elinks, dillo, opera, netrik, arena...)

You can use a browser to convert the html to plain text.
