Is it possible to fit an exponential fuction of the form

  y = a Exp[b x^3] + c

to a list of data pairs using Mathematica?  I've looked at the Fit[]
function in the Matematica book but it will only work if I leave
out the b constant.  Am I missing something here?  Is there another
function or combination of functions that will do what I want.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
