Surfing the Internet with a classic Amiga

[Akira]

If you wanna do it in your A600, do it oldschool stylee.

Use lynx for text web browsing!
I think you could use AmFTP and AmIRC.

AmiTCP should run fine in your 600 because something like Miami will eat up most of your mem, even if you have 2MB of Chip, so it's not recommended.

Do it. but oldschool style Forget about all that upgrading malarkey.

Tjlazer, I suppose one would have to define painful. As i said before, browsing with Lynx is easy and smooth. Checking mails is good too! But if you want to see java flash CCS and all that malarkey, forget about browsing with an m68k Amiga at all.

My problem is sharing a cable internet connection with a Windows XP host, via a serial->com1 connection.

I am not aware of a Windows solution, but when I did it with my 600, I conencted the two this way, by loading a ppp daemon on my linux box with some parameters (I found this in a doc on the Aminet, on how to network an Amiga or something, I might be able to track it down), it worked perfectly. I was lazy enough not to configure the amiga's way outside the intranet, but iit worked just fine on all the intranet, and pretty fast for a serial SLIP connection.
