LANceGS:

Don't own it myself (yet!) but looks like I'm ordering it soon. Heard
very good things about it.

It also comes with a driver for the TCP/IP stack available for GS/OS,
called Marinetti:

Between a GS, Marinetti, and LANceGS, you should be on the network.

You may also want a web browser and so forth; think that's in the
Spectrum stuff (which Syndicomm sells).

I'm less familiar with other means, although I believe Marinetti does
support a modem hooked up to the modem port and PPP, which is another
way of networking the GS via TCP/IP albeit much more slowly. :)

No relation to any of these people (they don't pay me enough to give
reviews :-) ) -- but am a very satisfied customer of Syndicomm.

Welcome back to the Apple II! I just re-dug up the GS and various A2
tools and books. Sure brings back a lot of good memories, and even
though active development has slowed to a crawl now... there's still
been a lot of things from the past 10-15 years to keep you busy for at
least another 10-15 years!
