    There is IRC, you can get to that with an IRC Client. There are newsgroups, you will need a newsreader to access that, one is built into IE (tools/read news). You can use FTP to send and receive files from FTP servers. Email is a part of the Internet that isn't HTTP(the Web) also. You can use Telnet to connect to other PCs, as well as some old BBS systems. There are other old protocols not worth mentioning.. not sure if Archie is still being used. :p
