You can connect your Mac Modem with Mac cable straight to the GS. A
program like Proterm is a good Prodos 8 program to communicate with.

The GS won't do Netscape, etc, though there is a program that let's you
connect to internet using SLIP (also PPP now?). It's called Marinetti.
Don't know how much you know about the GS, just ask around.

You need a SCSI card (or an IDE card), an external HD box with a hard
disk inside.

Still thinking of re-opening my Apple IIgs BBS here in Nijmegen, but not
untill next year.
