Ok, we are always looking for good "programmers" to do what has NOT been done like getting online servers for Unreal Tournament, Planet Ring, Propeller Arena, etc... back online with the Dreamcast. Also games like System Shock 2 and Thief 2 were unfinished but there is a PC version of it.

The problem is, there is no real hope for this being the best of the DC development teams in the last almost 10 years have not been able to get most of the DC games back online or take unfinished games and make them "finished". In fact, there was an attempt to get Dream Chess online (a homebrew game) in which the source code is available directly from their site but no one can get the game to go online.

I do not believe this is something you can just "do".

well the homebrew bba drivers are something new (DC Doom) There are no hombebrew modem drivers so that is why DC Doom is not supported. The server software side the probably in the long run going to be easier because you at least have some what of a direction in which you are headed. ( You can see what the Dreamcast it trying to send to the server).
