I have a Commodore-Amiga A1200 upgraded to a 68040 @ 33Mhz, 32MB Fast RAM, 8GB IDE HD and OS 3.9 and I connect to my LAN via a PCMCIA Ethernet card.  Works great.  BUT Surfing on it is absolutely painful!!!  I would highly recommend you forget that idea on your A600.  Get a A2/3/4000 with a Graphic card.  I have a A3000 and a A4000 with 68060's @ 66Mhz and Cybervision 64's and surfing on them is a pleasure. :)

Well when I do simple surfing with iBrowse 2.3 the screen is really slow and scrolling is very sluggish.  That is at 256 colors, but even at 128 it is slow too.  We are talking about night and day when you do it with a graphics card.  I am sure if I tried it at 16 colors that would help too but IMHO not worth it on a ECS machine.  Use the A600 for games and get a real Amiga! ;)

NOTE: I never said you cannot get online with a A600.  You can, but would you want to endure the pain, is the question!?   :-D
