The NetLink works alright, given that it's a direct dial system that doesn't use servers. Still, you can't browse the web or use the forum on it anymore...
BUT, if you have a digital phone service, long-distance play is gonna be iffy at best. The modem can't handle the level of lag a digital relay generates (being designed for analog phone lines).

Also, I imagine none of the Saturn browsers are compatible with Flash and such.
Vast sections of the web wouldn't be viewable.
Y'know, that'd be an interesting project, making an updated browser for NetLink... still, I don't know anyone who can program for Saturn.

Hey an Ohioan! I live in Dayton! And my girlfriend goes to UC so I'm no stranger to Cinci.

Some of the old school NetLinkers are still around on IRC. After NetLink World went offline it became Dricas World, and then that got absorbed by Console City.

There's a thread with a lot of old NLers:

I don't post much but I troll here from time to time. I wish I had a land line so I can play some VO!
