1230 processor card with 16Mb ram would be minimum.

I used my A4000/040 with 16Mb fast ram for internet, it was pretty slow, but now I have 060/50Mhz + 128mb fast ram, it runs like a dream, OS3.9 with IBrowse 2.3 :-)

 I agree on the CPU if it runs at least at 40mhz, but i know from experience that 16MBs are not enough for internet access. Unless you want to start the browser and then quit to start the mailer and then quit the mailer to start browsing again. :-) 32MB is the minimum amount of memory for "comfortable" operation, imho.
 And on AGA, you really need to install FBlit + SystemPatch or FText, not only because it speeds things up, but because it will also keep your Amiga from crashing because your Chip-ram ran out.

I'll have to agree with you, but it could be done with my specs, I know, because I did it on my A4000. Really slow! But it worked.
