Does your A500 have any other hardware upgrades?  Accelerator?  Extra fast ram?  Lack of those is going to severely limit what browsers you can run.

If you really want to network an Amiga, the A500 is probably about your worst choice, IMHO.  With an A600 or A1200 you have the option of using a PCMCIA network card.  With a big box model there's a variety of cards, including the new X-Surf 100 that I have, which works great.  For A500 your options are going to be very limited.

Although I suppose you could always buy that used Bodega Bay that's floating around here on the threads, and add a network card that way, haha.  ;)
