In 1994 it would have been common for people to be using the internet and not using the web at all. Email, Usenet and FTP were common, while the web was still something of a novelty.

It was also an era where Windows and other desktops were still fairly new themselves, and some people were still just using DOS and maybe dialling into Unix machines.

My memory of the internet in 1994 is of the mysterious place where my Dad would download shareware games for me while he was at work. I wonder now if that would have been from the early web (he worked at a government scientific research institution, so would have had access) or from Usenet.
