You have two options to include the tables verbatim:
1) Select Insert->include file. In the dilalog enter the file name, select
the "Verbatim" button, and press OK.
2) Change the layout to lyx code. Then, select the
Insert->Insert_File->Ascii_as_line menu, and select the file in the dialog.
You can also convert the ascii files to lyx tables, if the field are separated
by tabs (if they are not, it is not hard to convert the file to this format).
The following works in the Unix version:
Copy the contents of the file to the clipboard.
Then in lyx, create a table of the appropriate size, and paste the clipboard.
Alternatively, you can use csv2lyx:

Enter H (capital H) in the float placement dialog, and put
\usepackage{float} in the preamble.
