Not just go online like Xbox or PS2. I'm talking about web surfing like using a Dreamcast. Are there any others that you can still use to browse?

I think the Saturn can if you have the Netlink. The game.com can also, if you're willing to deal with a 14.4 modem and no color graphics.

The Lynx can as well, but it has no support for graphics and is text only.

Can't the Commodore 64? I read it on a FAQ.

You can still get on a database with the famicom stock market attachment but it doesn't have anything in it now.

That's cool to see which consoles can get online!!!
I have always wanted to know since I have never gotten online though a video game console - I guess it cost money monthly, just like a regular server would charge a month like AOL, MSN, etc. ???

The Saturn was my first internet porn experience. I remember the cursor acted as a magnifying glass, which was sometimes...convenient.

I'm not sure a C64 counts as a console but if so then my old Tandy coco could go online with my 300 baud modem. 8-)

Just another old computer. Heck, let's talk about the Apple //gs if you're gonna bring up old micros :D
As for that database with the Famicom Modem...it's probably just the system failing to find anything so a null space comes up, or is it the system's front-end?
