    The Sega Saturn was my first experience with online browsing. I later moved on to the Dreamcast, and my first forum post was on the Daily Radar boards.

    I didn't have a PC, until about 2002. The Dreamcast was my source for the internet from 1999-2002. Even with dial-up on the PC, I was amazed at how much content I'd missed using the DC as a web-browser and how slow it was in general.

    I actually bought a Net Link when they came out, but my parents didn't have a credit card at the time, so I couldn't sign up for an ISP. We ended up bringing it back, and I got some games instead.

    So how difficult is it to get a DC broadband modem these days?
    did they ever make cheaper non Sega modems for the DC?

    The broadband modem is rare and somewhat pricey now a days but you can find one on Ebay if your willing to keep an eye on your bid.

    I tried recently to sign online using my DC but I don't know how to configure it. How do I get my ISP info?

    You'll most likely have to call them up and ask for the info.
