I was looking around the net for games that can go online for the Gamecube. Are there any games out other then PSO??

Sadly no. NOA's stance of "Online isn't viable right now" has killed online Cube for the time being. Hopefully, E3 will show Mario Kart, Golf, and Tennis online, but who knows.
Personally, I'd love to see an online multiplayer Metroid Prime. Sexy.

Naw, unfortunately Miyamoto says Nintendo does not believe Online Gaming will be a big part of future console gaming, but hell yeah imagine the possibilities, Super Smash Bros, F-Zero hmmmmm

Nintendo's stance on online from a business perspective makes sense. If you go back and look at their statements about online gaming, they actually say something to the effect of "Online gaming is not a viable business option right now". It basically says that no one ever made money making console games online. Not without a huge infrastructure ala xbox live, and even that is rather risky. It's not good business to support online actions, even if the people want it.
When online games become profitable, Nintendo will join the rest of the players. The way they see it, there's nothing wrong with being the last to join, because the tools will be right there available when they do come on board, instead of trying to re-invent the wheel every time, like companies are doing now.

I know how you feel I want to buy the broadband adaptor so bad. I want to be able to play a big multiplayer game... But I can't stand PSO so I guess I'll wait... hopefully they can bring some of the nintendo classics to the net. Such as Mario Kart, Bomberman, excite bike. (Not the originals but remakes of them.
EDIT: YES! Finally 200 posts!! I'm a somebody now... No More Instert Coin for me muhaha...
