Probably a more practical solution I used back in college was to dial
in to the campus terminal server, telnet to a Unix box, and use Lynx.
Also could read newsgroups from the CoCo that way! :)

I would say graphical browsing would be unlikely, or just ungodly
slow... Since I remember a 20k GIF file could take a minute or two to
load on the screen from disk. JPEGs would be even worse.
