Surfing the Net for Handicapped

[Lida Pinkham]

How would someone who was not able to use a mouse surf the internet?

In Netscape you can use Ctrl+L and then type in an address, but what if they want to activate a link on the page. 

Has anyone dealt with this before?  Is there a special browser, plug-in or something that would allow a patron to surf the internet using a keyboard?

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.  If you want to get somwhere else, you must run at least twice as fast."
