That there is a site that gives you in depth intstructions on how to let your DC games (the ones that don't suppport the DC broadband adapter) to "dial in" to your PC, which will act as a server using your broadband connection to get the DC online that way. You are capped at the absolute maximum speed of the DC's modem mind you :D.
Anyway, thought I'd share that since I know there are DC owners here who have long since moved on to broadband and don't want to pay for a narrowband connection JUST for the chance of downloading Shenmue stuff or save files :D. (It kinda sucks that the various online games, a large number anyway, never were designed to use the broadband adapter, but oh well, here's a solution.)
Seems as though you need Linux (lucky me), but I'm sure someone will find an alternative for Windows soon enough...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
