Sure.
 
And I'll reply to the list because this is a common question:
 
Do you have access to the Worldwide web?
 
If so, it will either be through a PPP hookup and a program like Netscape
or Mosaic or by typing the word 'lynx' or maybe 'www' at the UNIX prompt
on a shell account.
 
You will find a prompt asking for a URL to open and you type in the URL
exactly as shown below starting with 'http' and ending with "dicka'.  You may
have to add a '/' on the end for some brousers.
 
Let me know how you make out.
