Has anyone figured out any alternative to the BBA? I mean its so expensive, especially since the canadian dollar, uh, sucks really bad... i mean i know u can set up ur pc modem and that to connect to the dc modem but i dont even have a modem in my pc :(
Has anyone modified a netowrk card or tried to, or is that really even a feasible idea?
Anyone come up with a broadband adapter replacement?

If you mean for online games it's not really feasible.
If you mean for dev'ing (uploading programs and stuff), the Dreamcast LAN adapter can be had for around $50 now. http://www.boob.co.uk has info on where to get one(about halfway down the page).
If you mean to make one and use it with NetBSD or possibly DC Linux, check out Bitmaster's page.
Note: Neither the LAN adapter nor Bitmaster's ethernet adapter is compatable with online gaming or most browsers(i.e. Dreamkey, Planet Web). The LAN adapter comes with a web browser for it, but is probably in Japanese (though I think the Broadband browser on the main page of DC Emu is the translation of it).

Yeah i know i just thought it would be nice to use the net on there and stuff and i like getting dc games off of the net, i feel kinda guilty using my friends old REALLY SLOW dialup (not even 56k) that he doesnt even use since he just got DSL, when my cable internet is sitting right here in front of me. I dont even think his dad knows that hes still paying for it :S
