You need a TCP/IP stack like Genesis, Miami or AmiTCP, and a web browser, like iBrowse or Aweb.

AmiTCP/IP Install guide

Once you have this going, you'll just need a browser.

No, you don't need AmigaOS 3.9 for networking.

browsers are a bit slim on the amiga... the best one IMHO is IBrows.  It's not great (or even that good) but it does the job. (sorrta) Best to have a 060 and GFX card.....
