There are lots of ways to proceed!

For example:

Download AmiTCP 4.0 demo and PPP1_45.lha (I'm assuming your ISP uses PPP).
These files will be in LHA compressed format, so download a de-compression
program for you Amiga if you don't already have one.

Put the download files onto a floppy and use CrossDOS to copy the files onto
your A1200.

Once these programs are configured, you can move your modem to your Amiga.
Voila, internet access through your Ami!
