Returning Amigan would like to do internet with Amiga
« on: September 25, 2006, 05:14:16 PM »
Hey all,
I was a hard core Amigan over 10 years ago but lost interest after the big C went under (At the time I was working in a Commodore reseller store so it was extra hard).

My question is: How do I get on the internet with my Amiga and what do I need to do it? I have an a1200 with 10 megs and 1 gig hd. I have 3.0 roms and 3.0 workbench. I also bought some kind of pcmcia ethernet card to network my a1200 to my Athlon3500 for transfering ADFs (but never got around to installing it). I'm sick of the PCs vunerability to spyware and viruses and really just want to use the PC for a video/audio workstation and keep it off the internet (so it stays "clean"). I only use the internet to check this site, some news sites, ebay, and my hotmail email account.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

It nice to be back.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks everyone.

You all are being very helpful and pointing me in the right direction. More questions:

Was there anything internet related included in OS updates past 3.0? Was there ever anything officially integrated into the OS that allows for browsing? If there was I would be inclined to update my OS to whatever is currently available, and maybe even track down an 030 or 040 to pop in my 1200.

Thanks again
