Depends on your definition of getting online. The

have is the web browsers are old, CPU are slow, the WWW has too many

some extra RAM installed, and you really want to have a network card
installed.
This is so true. I have both IE 2.8 and Netscape something on my IIci and
540c portable. It works but many mainstream sites don't render properly with
the old engine it uses. I wonder if it would be possible to recompile one of
the publicly-available browsers for a 68k target?
