Ok y'all, I just signed up for 10 hours a month free internet through Netzero!
I know 10 hours per month is shit, but hey, it's free!
Quick, whats the best internet browser disc to configure my ISP info on my Dreamcast with? I seen so many different browser discs on the net it ain't funny.
Oh, by the way, here is the site I went through that got me the free net in case any other Texans see this and want to do it too.

There was a guide by Fackue that I borrowed from the former console vision website; it explained how to get Netzero/Juno to work on DC. It required you to add stuff onto the user name and encrypt the password. I might be able to get the page put back up (I took it down because no one could verify that it still worked).

Oh damn please don't tell me that...
So is there still hope? I really want this to work, as the other options are not available to me at this time(PC-DC/BBA).
Edit:
Oh kool thanks Farve! So will this work with Planetweb 3.0 instead of v2?

I say try the guide I posted it probably still works its just no one has dial-up anymore lol. What Netzero does it use an encrypted password and username and the guide tell you how to use it. Also if you have voip then it probably will not work. I tried with Voange. Also here is XDP for configuring your dreamacast:

Ok thanks, I just downloaded Planetweb v3.0, as I thought it was better, and I saw a video on youtube showing me what I needed to do.

I reckon it should still work same way with PW 3.0 I hope.

I have never found a network utility on planet web 3 but I am sure its there. I have watched that video before too. Do you have normal landline service or VOIP because it will make a difference.

I have cable internet by Charter communications, I don't know if I have VOIP or not with the Netzero yet...
How can I check?

Net Zero has nothing to do with VOIP. Most cable internet uses VOIP I think but the I think it might still work because cable phones normally don't suck as much as vonage does.
