yes you can do it on an a1200, you need something called an ICard 
(comp.sys.amiga.reviews had a review on it a while ago), it's a PCMCIA 
ethernet card.

You can happily run amitcp over ethernet, I myself have 2 amigas and 2 pc's 
linked together via ethernet at home and it's brilliant being able to copy 
files really quickly between them...

Go for it..

Dom!
