   Oh, forgot that I hadn't posted about that here. In a nutshell, I've   
   downloaded and successfully installed Schthack's homebrew Phantasy Star   
   Online server. It's still a little buggy, but essentially I can host   
   Dreamcast version 1 clients on a single ship server. There used to be tons   
   of those discs available at retail that I need to hunt down. Also, it's   
   worth noting that the EU-region version 2 disk doesn't require a Hunter's   
   License, so theoretically I could allow those kinds of connections too.   
      
   In order to support the American version 2 client, I have to have a secure   
   web server running with a particular validation page. I don't have high   
   hopes for success, but having gotten this far I feel like I should give it   
   an honest effort. If I get this running to my satisfaction, I may start   
   hitting you guys up to get your Dreamcasts online. :)   
      
   In that spirit, does anybody know where all those unloved copies of PSO   
   went, or where one can order a copy of the UK versions? I appreciate any   
   help you guys can offer.
