If your ISP includes shell account access, all you need is a comm program.
Well, that, and some knowledge of unix commands. You can run Lynx, which is
a text-based browser that runs on the server. It just displays on your
screen via the comm program. Writing this, I'm realizing how long it's been
since I used it myself.
Anyway, for fun I used to look things up using Altavista (Google would
probably work even better). You can also download files using FTP.
But if you're asking about the equivalent of IE or Netscape for the IIc+,
that's not going to happen. There is work going on for the IIgs though.
Someone else will probably fill you in on that, I don't know much about it.
