About the Sega Saturn NetLink.

Can you still go on the internet with it? Anyone know?

Not sure, but my plans this summer involve finding out if you can or not. Last I heard about a year ago, there were still people online playing Bomberman a bit. I would now but my saturn is a few hundred miles away and I don't have a phoneline.

Yeah I also plan to find out once I receive my NetLink in the mail (hopefully soon).

For people that don't know, you can't play Netlink games online. They are direct connect only so be sure to find people in your area to play or you'll have a nice high long distance bill

I was heavy into the NetLink when it was released:

Here you go:

If you still have a dial-up account, you CAN still go online and cruise the net with your Saturn (except with AOL).

You do NOT need an ISP to play games. The games are a site-to-site connection, meaning you input your opponent's phone number, while your opponent sets their NetLink on "Waiting" mode. When your NetLink dials your opponent, your opponents NetLink will answer the phone, and thus, your connection is established. Playing Virtual-On, online, full-screen, with NO lag is a thing of beauty. Ditto with Saturn bomberman (2 on 2 players), etc...

Hope that helps...

Someone posted about a way to route your DC through your PC somehow to use your cable modem/DSL connection. This was before the broadband adapter. I wonder if the same thing can be done with the Saturn.
