You have to get a proper Amitcp package and set it up.

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

This is the old and trusty one on Aminet.

You also have to made an agreement with a internet-provider to get a
email-address and a password.

You don't said which country you are from but try to get Amiga Shopper.
This contains a lot of tips and the latest number 62 go through the installation of amitcp.

Just full and reliable internet-access is enough.

Then, what do i need in terms of settingup a web browser?

Try Aweb from aminet, it doesn't need MUI and is stable. But you can't do so much as
with IBrowse.

I use ppp.device to establish connection with modem.

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

From aminet of course.

ping is a small program in amitcp:bin that checks connection.

EX:

ping localhost                 ; this call yourself and this should work :-)
ping ftp.luth.se               ; this call a domain in scandinavia.

You get some timing-info if the connection is ok. Use then ctrl-c.

You can also make an agrrement and borrow an account from a friend who has a working connection.

You just need his username and password. If the provider use PPP use it!
Then create a login script like this:

TIMEOUT 1500
REDIAL "BUSY"
REDIALDELAY 100
SEND "AT&F1L1S11=60"
WAIT "OK"
SEND "ATDT035-2604900"
WAIT "CONNECT"
WAIT "Username:"
SEND "s-27040"
WAIT "Password:"
SEND "xxx-xx-x"
WAIT "Swipnet>"
SEND "ppp default"
