   Well, if you're running US version 1 or EU version 2, I won't need your   
   serial number at all because the server will accept any connection   
   independent of that data. You still have to enter it at the console when   
   going online because the Dreamcast client has to generate the security   
   hash, but the server won't do anything with it.   
      
   US version 2 is still a problem because I don't have the web server app   
   that validates Hunter's Licenses. I think I can fake it, but I'm not sure   
   what interaction the License server has with the ship server, if any. Oh   
   yes, and there are the usual dumbass problems with dial-up connections as   
   opposed to broadband connections.   
      
   I'm excited, but I'm stopping short of promising that this will actually   
   result in something usable. Our watchword today is cautious optimism. :)
