I had a Dreamcast but never played it online. I'm american, BTW. I could be wrong since many are saying otherwise but I always thought Seganet cost. Hell, it came with a disc that tried (and failed) to get me to go online because I refused to give my credit card info. I owned Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue, Out Trigger, and Quake 3 and always dreamed of taking them online but never did.
I did live in a rural area, though.
