The most likely way someone with a II (especially one of the 8-bit models)
would access a website from it would be through a shell account on a UN*X
box of some sort (whether it's your own Linux box over a null-modem cable or
dialup access somewhere).  As long as your site renders OK and is navigable
in text browsers such as Lynx, you can view it on a II.
