You can use a Palm Ethernet cradle adapter.  It has a PPP server in the device.  The palm connector is serial.  I forget which model cradle but when I have a chance I will look at mine and see which it is.

Here is the palm cradle pinout.


------  -----           -----
pin 1   DE9.4, DB25.20  PC DTR -> Minstrel DSR
pin 2   N/C             Short to Pin 1
pin 3   DE9.2, DB25.3   Minstrel TxD <- PC RxD
pin 4   DE9.7, DB25.4   Minstrel CTS -> PC RTS
pin 5   DE9.3, DB25.2   Minstrel Rxd -> PC TxD
pin 6   DE9.8, DB25.5   Minstrel RTS <- PC CTS
pin 7   N/C             GPIO input pin for detecting hotsync, contacts
                        with pin 2 when the hotsync button is pressed.
pin 8   N/C             GPIO (input only, not connected in cable)
pin 9   N/C             N/C  (spare?)
pin 10  DE9.5, DB25.7   Signal Ground

N/C     DE9.4, DB25.20  (PC DSR not connected to PalmPilot)
N/C     DE9.1, DB25.8   (PC DCD unconnected to PalmPilot)

Also someone getting WINGS on C64 working with it.

Then on the cradle all you have is Ethernet to the network and PPP on your amiga serial port.  If I find mine I will sell it to you if you want it.
