Nine or ten aeons ago I got the KA9Q Amiga port working on an A500 through a nullmodem to a peecee... But if memory serves I got nothing more than a Lynx port, a rudimentary IRC client, telnet and ftp to actually "work". That may be generous- it was like 1996.

The goal was to get it working with the ip vhf packet network back then.

The newer stacks are much more user-friendly. Good luck!

I noticed several hams here that also are amigans. How many of you still have yours on the air?. I sometimes put mine on packet. EA5HDX here.
Cheers!
I ran my A500 with a KPC-3 and an FT-2400.

 I never even knew a Baycom would work with an Amiga. It was hard enough getting it to work with the laptops of the day. No idea where mine went to, but I still have the KPC-3 on an Icom 706.

A few years ago I tinkered with a CDTV and JR-COMM to monitor the DX cluster stream but never put it all together after I moved. Maybe I will with the new cycle bringing back 10 meters.
