You probably have lynx installed, which you can use to access web and ftp 
sites from the command line. Just type:

lynx http://www.altavista.com

Lynx is pretty easy to use. The up and down arrows scroll through the 
available links on a page. The right arrow opens a link, and the left arrow 
backs out.
