It's a games machine! Why would you want a web browser on the Net Yaroze when you should already have one on the PC or Mac that the Yaroze is currently attached to? There is only one possible use I can see for a modem to be connected to a Yaroze or any other PSX and that is for a serial link over the phone direct to another PSX with a modem. I am surprised Sony have not already thought of this! I'm sure plenty of people with PSX's have friends with one too that they would like to try linking up to but don't bother because it would be too much hassle transporting a PSX+TV to another house just to play one or two games.
