I would suggest a Raspberry Pi with RS232 setup, likely USB to RS232 to talk
to the Amiga. You can run Mystic on the Pi as well and the Linux the Pi uses
is more like the Amiga than any PC. I went from Amiga to Linux as main
machines, I did use Win95/98 dail-up from the Amiga back in the day, but now
would use the Pi as the interface to the net (likely to set mine up this year
at some point). That said this point system is working off an older Pi 2B+.
The newer  Pi3 has Wifi & Bluetooth built in at the same price as that old
2B+, there are a number of software interfaces out there for it and it's easy
to run 'headless' as I run the BBS and points.
