Hardware? As long as you still have some room on you harddisk in your A3000
you don't need any additional hardware. If you wan't to use inlined graphics
in a browser however you should upgrade to Kick/WB 3.0+.

Modem? Any external modem should work therefore I can't give any
recommendation on this side.

Software? Either you get hold of the Surfer package of AT or you try to pick
the best from AmiNet (which I did).

Still any questions? Well, send me a email.

You need this from Aminet:

TCP/IP connection
AmiTCP-demo-40.lha comm/tcp   738K  70+TCP/IP protocol stack

If you use PPP
PPP1_45.lha        comm/net   111K  60+SANA-II PPP.device evaluation version

Email & news package
thor222_inet.lha   comm/mail   81K  10+Internet archive for THOR 2.22 (TCP/SOUP/UUCP)
thor222_main.lha   comm/mail  790K   9+Offline reader, main archive (required)

WWW-reader (IBrowse)
http://www.omnipresence.com/ibrowse/demo.html

And this because IBrowse use MUI (a better-looking gui system)
mui33usr.lha       dev/gui    797K   0+MagicUserInterface V3.3, user files

IBrowse is a beta but quit good I think. You need no additional hardware
except modem which is equal for PC. I use USR Sportster 28800 which satisfy
me.
