I see someone put a Dreamcast up for sale on Craigslist. (An older white one. From the pre-black sports bundle days, we know what that's all about LOL)

So with the broadband modem, can I access the Internet? Or would it only connect to SegaNet?

After a bit of clicking I found http://www.gamespot.com/news/2673469.html
and from wikipedia:
"the release of the broadband adapter on January 10, 2001 allowed the Dreamcast to utilize broadband Internet access. The device can be used for web browsing, gaming and all of the other functions accessible using dial-up access."

Just wonder if there's a way to get a modern web browser on there. The old web browsers were something like Internet Explorer 1 in what they could do.

mods, after the question is answered move this to the landfill.
