how easy is it to connect to the internet

Well, since you must be already on the internet to post this question, I guess it's easier than you think! lol.

I'm guessing you mean connecting the internet to an Amiga?? I used to use a 56k dialup modem connected to a Whippet PCMCIA device. Times have changed. At this point I'd be interested to find out if you can do it thru WinUAE in some way. Otherwise you'll have to find out how you'd get a twisted-pair LAN cable appended with RJ-45 connectors into an Amiga. I'm sure there is a way - there always is with Amigas.

If you have an A600 or A1200 (with PCMCIA slot) your options are greater. Why not take a look at Easynet from AmigaKit.com here.

Anybody any thoughts?

It's pretty much a waste of time as there is no web browser capable of displaying modern web pages (only recently firefox has been ported for PPC amiga's). Email, irc and ftp will be alright i guess (encryption may be a problem).

If you are determined to get it done there are ways and modern hardware solutions (like adding network cards).
