I wonder if anyone can help me please.

I used to be an Amiga user but sadly changed to PC 3/4 years ago.
However my brother still uses his Amiga 1200 and from time to time I
sort out his problems after a short refresher course.

What he wants to do now is buy a modem, sign up with an ISP and use E-
Mail etc. The problem is that I can`t remember how I used to do it and
what software I used.

The questions therefore are:-

1.What is the best value modem he should buy for use with the Amiga?

2.Things having moved on no doubt what software should we get him and
where from?

3.What ISP should he sign up with? I suppose I am also interested in
this, being currently with Demon (using Turnpike - there is no Amiga
version is there) and Freeserve. What experience do people have with the
ISPs offering free access and free telephone alongside (i.e. for
internet use)?

4. Any other advice. Are there any net pages I should be visiting?

Many thanks in advance.
