To Robert (who has four internet addresses and THINKS he has no WWW
access!):
 
        Contact your local friendly SysAdmin and see if they can run a
software application created by the University of Kansas called *lynx*.
Just like the rest of the Internet, you may have access to the WWW and
just not know it.
        *lynx* is an application that allows the *text-only* viewing of the
HTML documents that one usually finds on the WWW. It shows all of the
*hyperlinks* that are located in the documents and will allow the user to
follow them just as if they were using Mosaic or Cello or any of the
*graphical viewers* that are available.
        While it doesn't give you the pretty pictures and great sounds in
real time, *lynx* WILL let you download them to your local machine for
perusal at your leisure.
        And remember, just because they didn't TELL you that you had access
doesn't meant you don't have it...8-).
