A500+ Internet

I wonder with one of these cables (with a 25-9pin adapter) would it be possible to hook an Amiga up to a hub via the serial port to one of the ethernet ports?

Going online with an Amiga can be a lot of fun, you just need patience. You should at least be able to comfortably chat to your friends on IRC and MSN through your expanded A500, Telnet, send email and FTP easily, read news, play MUDs, and browse the web too, although you'll need AWeb or an older version of IBrowse.

It wouldn't need an old hub, that's why I suggested it. It's a long shot though...

Yeah, I had a feeling we'd need more than just that cable, oh well.

Ferix, your project seems really cool though, I really hope you get it working, that'd be just the sort of thing you could make a small batch of and sell to Amiga users around the world. I'd love to get something like that for the A500s and CD32s here.
