You need a TCP/IP stack like Genesis, Miami or AmiTCP, and a web browser, like iBrowse or Aweb.

actually to be able to see pages in humane times, u need 68040 or 68060 cpu, some image decoding datatypes (or OS3.9 ones) , a stack running (again 3.9 has one inside) and 32+ mb fastram...

Thanks for the info :)

I will need to look into some kind of external cdrom for O.S 3.9.

AmiTCP/IP Install guide (http://www.acc.umu.se/~patrikax/amiga/guides/AmiTCP_Install/)

Once you have this going, you'll just need a browser.

No, you don't need AmigaOS 3.9 for networking.

browsers are a bit slim on the amiga... the best one IMHO is IBrows.  It's not great (or even that good) but it does the job. (sorrta) Best to have a 060 and GFX card.....
