Commodore offers the products you need.  Their prices for Universities 
as of May 8, 1990 is:

Hardware: A2065 Ethernet ANSI 802.3 Thick or thin  $229   (reg $349)
Software: AS225 NFS-TCP/IP (and UDP/IP) network    $129   (reg $199)

The card requires a A2000 or better (or a heavily modified A500).  A3000
compatability should be good, since these cards were released at about
the same time.  Haven't heard specifics either for or against A3000 TCP/IP.

I think GVP offers a system as well, but I don't have specifics in front
of me.

Note that only a University can buy peripherals only.  Students/teachers
have to buy a CPU as well to get these prices (at least according to the
local retailer).
