 You can find a USR Courier 56K (Serial modem) on e-bay for about $20 US. good
serial modems are out there.

 There are some older distros that run on amigas but they're incredibly
difficult to get working correctly, and you have to hand configure just about
everything to make it work right.  I can't think of one good reason why you
would want to toss Linux on an Amiga other than the bragging rights of "I did
it!"
