Hi folks!

I've had an original A1000 sitting around at home, mostly unused, for a
while, and now I'd like to try to hook up to the Internet.  I've been
out of the Amiga scene for a couple years now (stopped taking Amiga
World and reading these groups) so I'm pretty clueless about modems for
the Amiga and Internet browsing software.  Here are my main questions:

1. What speed and brand modem should I get?  For a PC (oops, sorry for
the "P" word) I'd swing for a 28.8 K modem.  Is that speed available and
practical for an A1000?  (I'd be delighted to find out that modems are
the same for Amiga and Windows computers, just a different cable,
perhaps.)

2. What World-Wide-Web browser software is available, and what's
recommended?  For a PC I'd just get Netscape.  Is it avail. for the
Amiga?

3. What is a good mail-order source for these purchases?

4. Are any of the commercial on-line services particularly friendly to
the Amiga, or is a basic Internet connection more practical?


Hey, I would appreciate some kind souls taking the time to give me some advice.

Thanks so much, and Happy T-day!

P.S. In case it  matters, I'm using an A1000 with 2MB RAM and WB 1.3.
