   Short answer: serial connection to an ISP that provides a shell
account, and a telcom program on the GS side. PPP and SLIP are not
usable at the moment; when it is released, GS/TCP will provide some
connectivity.

   Cable from GS to modem, telcom software, shell account with ISP.

>Is there any FAQ I can refer to?

   Yes, thank you for realizing that there is such a thing. The
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ was posted on the first of the month (and properly
configured news setups should keep it around for the month), but is
archived on the WWW at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html
Your question is answered in more detail at in question #52, "Can my
Apple II connect to the internet?" and #17, "Can I hook up a modem to
my Apple II?" [I can email the FAQ if you can't get on the WWW.]
