This is quite an old term during the early days of the internet (perhaps back in the mid to late 1990s). It simply means "to go on" or "use" the internet. People don't typically say this anymore since almost everyone and everything is online. But back in the days of 56k internet speeds, using the internet was a little unusual and somehow got this strange description.
