Service issues[edit]
A major issue for the XBAND service was free long-distance phone calls. It was discovered that a user could record the tones sent from an XBAND modem and then receive the long-distance service number, the authentication code, and phone number of the player you were connecting to. This information allowed anyone to access long-distance phone calls that were charged to Catapult.

Paging company SkyTel faced similar problems from both XBAND users and their own customers. XBAND users performed brute-force attacks against SkyTel's mobile paging system in order to discover voicemail boxes using the same number as the login and password, using these to extend their communication with each other. Most messages consisted simply of shout-outs with music playing in the background.

Another common complaint was that if a player was losing a match, they could simply pull their phone cord out or turn off their system. This tactic, known as "plug-pulling" among XBAND users, prevented the XBAND service from crediting either player with the win or loss. In spite of complaints, the company was unable to develop a means to detect such forced disconnections.

Catapult was also unable to prevent harassment; there were no filters or privacy controls to prevent vulgar language and obscene mail.[2]

taking points from me??

I tried with my atari but I don't think I have the right cord. I got the console hooked up to my TV but I can't get to the aux channel with this knob. is there a special way i have to turn it? please post your answer here because if you call it's gonna mess up my connection.
You need the right cable to get the SNES online.
the SNES is pretty about which ethernet cable you use and i don't know why but that's the only cable that i've come across that's suitable for it.

buy that and give it a shot. let me know how it works for you.

Same Here. I thought the PS2/OG Xbox/Dreamcast/GameCube generation was the first consoles to connect to the internet.


Sega been connecting to the internet since the Megadrive / Genesis believe it or not. It was restricted to Japan only and didn't really become popular until the Dreamcast, then Xbox Live happened.

playing nba 2k and nfl2k on dial up at first was like :ooh:, but then that lag would kick in and you'd be like :sadbron:

the best parts about dreamcast online were downloading characters for marvel vs capcom 2, and downloading tags for jet grind radio
