Internet Gaming with DC
 

does one have to join sega.net to go access the online games or can i use like my pacbell dial up network to get online with dreamcast?

You don't need sega net to play games online, but your pac bell account wont work if it requires software. If not, you are good to go

You should use the sega.net, they give you 50 free hours and you can take as long as you want to waste them all. I haven't finish my free hours and I've been using the Sega.net for a couple of months already. Don't think it twice and just do it. You might find me there. My user in sega.net is "manii2"

no if you look around you can find an iso to burn so that you can choose you`r isp
