As far as I know they're all private servers now so you can't actually use the official game without some hacks, I guess ... I haven't done it .. but there's some info at these places it seems:

don't play on schthack, you'll hardly find any V2 players.

http://sylverant.net/ is where it's at right now.

Just to let you know most people covet the broadband adapter because it's how you rip Dreamcast games.

don't give up. I just got PSO v2 in the mail today. I don't have a BBA, so I'll be going the modem route. But if I get things figured out, I'll see if I can walk you through it.

Did you try the bootdisc from Sylverant by the way?

my understanding is you burn the Sylverant disc and it works as a bootdisc that basically connects you to the Sylverant server, and then you disc-swap and put in your PSO disc. In this case, I think you need an actual PSO disc, not a burn. But I haven't tried it yet myself.
