Note that there are several WWW browsers available, although Mosaic is
quickly becoming very popular. Some of these other browsers do not require
a graphical interface; they work with quite well with VT100s and other
character-cell terminals. One such browser is called Lynx.
If you haven't seen anything of the WWW, I highly recommend that you
check it out. Unfortunately, there's something of a chicken-and-egg
problem. Take a look at the Usenet group comp.infosystems.www, ftp
to www.ncsa.uiuc.edu and look around for info on Mosaic, and
ftp to info.cern.ch for other WWW-related sources.
