There is a WMS (OpenGIS Web Mapping Server) available at
http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/
or in older GIS packages
http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/?Request=GetCapabilities
For those who do not have ArcInfo or other GIS tools; see
http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/WMSClient.jar
which is a very simple browse/zoom/scale tool.
And this is what you then see (screenshots):

Instructions:
run the jar
java -jar WMSClient.jar
Select
'demo.asemantics.com' in the top pull down and
hit
the little yellow lightning strike
Then in the middle left pane a list of resources
appears. open the ASF one and double click on the one:
Location
Zoom in as you want :-)
But this is no fun; as there are no other layers (background maps). So
form the top pull down select 'globe.digitalearth.gov' and pull in
a few entries from 'Context layers'.
If you start pulling in layers from the physical paprameters; be aware
of orders; those usually are NOT transparant; so use the 'up/down' to
move them to the bottom of your stack.
There are quite a few other example apps you can use
http://www.demis.nl/DEMIS_UK/Products/Demis%20Map%20Server.htm
and the OGC lists but a few of them:

Note: error handling is far from conformant; and getFeatureInfo is
not (yet) implemented - and not sure if I should :-)
