RTG or Ethernet?

[Miked]

Well I managed to get a Zorro adapter for my A500.  Now I am faced with a bit of a decision.  Do I add an RTG to the Amiga or an Ethernet card (assuming I could find one).  If you had the choice between the two, which would you choose?

Thanks for the comments.  If all goes well, I should have an 030 soon for my A500.  

Hmm, is there any way to connect a cable from the serial, parallel or floppy port to an internet router and be on my way?  It seems, aside from an ethernet card or regular modem, there is no "direct" way to gain internet access.

Has anyone had success with a cybervision 64/3D on an Amiga 500? How about a Picasso IV?  (I've really only heard of Picasso II success stories).

 I suppose, an appropriately hacked router that bothers to feature a serial port.**



I saw a serial to rj45 "hack" on a webpage.  It seems that based on what people are saying, that a mere hardware solution is not the problem.  Rather, the ability for the router/host to communicate back to the Amiga is what needs to be addressed. (or is my argument incorrect?)

Remember that you should also have enough memory for RTG... for example CV64/3D consumes 4M right away.

So if an Amiga had 4 mb of 16bit Ram and 32 mb of 32bit ram (on the accelerator board) would the RTG "consume" the 32 bit memory or the 16 bit memory?

According to this manual its complete solution, no drivers, just telnet configurator.



Does it matter that the Amiga uses an RS232C serial port?
