Mosaic is a name of a browser or client program by NCSA for accessing
varous resources on the net. In this case its a client that can access a
http server (hypertext server) than can access a server I've set up.

Mosaic is available for Xwindows, Macintosh and MS Windows via anonymous
FTP at ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu, in either /PC/Mosaic, /Mac/Mosaic, etc..

On the mac version just click on the icon to run it... :) The address
for the server I've setup is

http://gothic.acs.csulb.edu:8080/

and there is a section of Siouxsie Images in there in the

http://gothic.acs.csulb.edu:8080/~vamp/Gothic/

section.

I dunno, depends on what kind of access you have. Mosaic requires that
you have a direct TCP/IP connection, not a dialup shell account. So you
probably have to use it from a machine at work or school that is directly
on the net. You can also use a character based browser called Lynx to
browse, but then you cant see the images ofcourse.
