I just bought my first mac and I would like to connect to the inet.
What is my best approach? Can I get a wireless card or some external
wireless setup? I have no USB, But I wonder if I can convert the
serial to USB. Then I would need the drivers.
Any help would be appriciated.

You may not realise but the 6220 is from the era when most of the PC
world was still running Windows 3.1 ... its nearly 10 years old!

You may have a machine for interesting experiments but do not expect to
connect much in the way of modern hardware. Wreless wasn't even a glint
in its daddy's eye when this Mac was built. You can probably track down
a compatible ethernet card and access the internet via a router. The
demands of modern Web pages will mean that surfing will always be a
halting and slow experience, even on a fast connection.

Take a look at :http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/6200.shtml

Good luck!
