I'm using a null modem serial cable.......so the big question is how can I get the A1200 to surf the net.


You mean the amiga is connected to a PC and the PC is connected to the net?
 If so, you`ll need a TCP stack such as Miami or Genesis, and a browser (Voyager,IBrowser or Aweb).
 Set the PC to act as a RAS server on the com port the null modem cable is connected to, and have the Amiga dialup windows.
 Depending on what version of Windows you have, you`ll either have to enable Internet Connection Sharing, or install some NAT or proxy software.

 You don`t say what spec your 1200 is, but at the very least you`ll need some extra memory and a hard drive(possible with floppies, but it`ll be a real pain..disk swap hell) and it would be very slow to use unless  you had an accelerator.

 Sorry I can`t be more specific, but this is all I can remember about how I did it many years ago.
