I have an Apple II on the internet.  well actually I have 3 that could get
there  "sort of"

You will need either of two peripherals: a LANceGS  ethernet card or an
older Macintosh.
With the LANCE, you basically just set it up  a IIgs on Marinetti 2.0 or
greater.  Then you would use any of the various Internet apps for access.
The IIgs here can directly speak to your router, or to a hub if you do not
have a router that can self-switch to 10based T (the Lance is a 10bt NIC).
The other way is to use Marinetti 3.0 or greater and run the Mac as a bridge
between Localtalk and Ethernet, and the IIgs using Marinetti 3.0 to access
TCP/IP via MacIP.

If you are not familiar with these terms I would suggest referring to either
the information on www.syndicomm.com on networking (specifically the
a2central.com articles on the LANceGS), or the articles I have written for
Digital Civilization/ Call A.P.P.L.E on networking, or both.
  Also I would suggest reviewing csa2 archives on the subject of networking.
There have been some excellent write-ups on networking the Apple II (even
ones I wrote even)  over the years.
