That is true. However, XBand signed a deal with Sega to build their modem into the Sega Channel adapter, enabling multiplayer gaming. I believe the multiplayer adapter was piloted in a few select regions, but I cannot say for certain. Anyway, I did have a friend with Sega Channel growing up. It was revolutionary. I would see nothing like it again until well over a decade later.
