Once you do get the thing networked, here are some suggestions for suitable browsers. As you might suspect, your choices are somewhat limited. Don't expect modern webpages to render well. :)

A fast, text-only browser is wannabe68k. I have used it on my Duos on dialup.

If you must browse with pictures, then consider netscape (versions 2 and 3). It will function, for suitably generous definitions of "function." Perhaps even version 4 will run, but its large memory footprint will pose a challenge.

The oldest functioning version of iCab presumably will also run on a 230, as long as you're running system 7.5 or above. I've never tried this myself, however, so I do not know for certain.
