Creative, but you could just run a browser on the Pi (and get better performance).

Very interesting.  As this just uses the standard serial port to make the internet connection, I guess it could also be used with the Minimig and FPGA Arcade too.

Why bother doing anything with an Amiga if that's the attitude?  

I think this video is great, in fact I did the same with my CDTV recently:

Thanks for the video.  I looked at the PLIP box, but that looked tricky.  I think this is very do-able for the average hobbyist.  Also, the parts are readily available.  I think I will give it a shot for my A500.
