Internet on Amiga 500+

[steve30]

Now I have a Hard disk and a huge 4meg ram expansion, taking it to 6meg total (I already had 1meg expansion), I would like to try and get the computer connected to the internet.

The HD is 50mb which should be fine, and I someone told me that 4mb ram is ideal for internet, so that should be OK. Here's the spec:

6mb RAM
50mb HD
DD Floppy (might be adding an extra floppy soon)
Original 7MHz 68000 processor
Workbench 2.04

Could I use parrallel or null modem to connect to the internet through the PC or would I have to have a modem connected to the amiga?

What software would I need?

What speeds can I expect to get?

I know it would be very slow with the 68000 processor, but I want to try to get it on the internet, no matter how slow it is.


Thanks.
Steve.

The PC is using Windows. I can probably sort out a computer with linux on though if that would be better.

Why does the cable need to be a special amiga one?

[steve30]

I have several old serial cables. I think they are null modem cables, but I'll have to check. Also they have 25pin connectors on both sides unfortunately.

I forgot I was going to try and get the A500+ on the internet.

Would just a standard 56k PC serial modem work or do I need one that is specificly for the amiga?
