Steams chat has some issues with groups bigger than four,

well PSO parties can only be a max of four players anyway, so shouldn't that still be an easy (IE: we're all already all set) solution?

[Ack]

Steams chat has some issues with groups bigger than four, unless you have a group chat setup via the guild system.

Is there a way the Racketboy group on Steam could set up a chat then?

So, is it possible to play on the Schthack servers with the Dreamcast at all?

yessir. Via dialup or BBA. There's a guide on their site. I played it on DC via dialup a couple of times myself.

[Fragems]

Ventrillo is an older voice chat program, though personally I always used Team Speak instead. Steams chat has some issues with groups bigger than four, unless you have a group chat setup via the guild system.

Fragems, is yours up 24/7? I was going to set one up if people requested it, but if you have one operational, there is no reason for double work.

Yeah I'm on a yearly subscription with gameservers so it's available 24/7. The servers located in Chicago, Illinois.

Anyone who needs a place to hang out is free to join as well. It's usually just me and around 4 other dudes on there on a regular basis.

True, but under heavy load, steam chats can go crazy, I have had it limit conversations to one other person before, that and you are at the mercy of Steam. Granted I doubt we will have more than two groups going at any given time regardless.

That is a good question, I do not know who runs that group. But it would be easy enough to setup. However there are like 200 people in the steam group.

If I'm reading this correctly, it seems I don't need a boot disc for the servers with a BBA, I just change the DNS IP address to the Schthack server IP address in PSO, and go?

well, I'd prefer stick w/ Steam Chat just cuz I already have it, always have Steam running when I'm online, and don't want to install another client if I really don't have to. But I find that I'm playing w/ enough people using another chat or that the Steam chat is really a problem then I'll prob see a reason to switch.
