Re: A500+ Internet

So now I have an A500+ with 68000 processor, 8Mb FastRAM, 2Mb ChipRam and a GVP HD8+. I know that compared to what people have over here my specifications don't look so great (mostly from a processor perspective). However I have run out of things to do with the machine (playing does not feel the same nor have the time) and therefore was wondering if I can reach my long ago goal to make this machine browse the internet.

I found a good tutorial here:
http://peta.mobilserver.cz/amiga/

This tutorial seem to indicate that browsing the Internet on a stock A500 is possible.

Now my question is a little bit different. At home I have an ADSL connection and a Wireless Network that shares the ADSL connection with all the PC's. My laptop connects to the Wireless network and therefore can access Internet.

So what are my options to share these resources (ADSL) on my Amiga (if any)? Or the only way for an Amiga to connect to the Internet is through dial up?

Regards,
Sim085
I did this some time ago on my 68030.

hmm I see the link to the mdmhayes.inf I posted back in 2003 is now dead. I have a copy of the driver if needed,  and can post it if anyone wants it. This is what I used to set up the null modem in Windows.

I am humbled and am forced to accept defeat... No way I can match THAT on my A500......
