Yeah I've got a PC and Amiga at home, I always use the internet on my
Amiga

No, you'll need at least a memory expansion, preferably a CPU upgrade
as well.
Although you don't /need/ a CD drive, the best internet package only
comes on CD.
> 3. What software will enable me to get on net?
Net connect is your best bet, I can't remember where you get it from
tho
Also, the best place to get Amiga Hardware/software (2nd hand) is
http://www.amibench.org
There's usually some complete amiga kits on offer, so you could always
check there for a cheap moderately powered A1200 with a modem and net
software.
See ya :)
