Is there any software for OS X which will let me play XBox System link games such as Pandora Tomorrow and Top Spin over the internet?
Thanks

It looks like they're doing private beta for Aquaduct 2, which features XBConnect compatibility.
Take a look here

No, the multiplayer funtionality will only work through XBox Live. It is $50/year. I found myself thinking I wouldn't use it much, but not I rarely play a game isn't multiplayer.

That is not the case. Games that support system link can be played over the internet using tunneling software.
Look at xbconnect for example.

Good luck getting Aquaduct to work. I have tried connecting via ABS & crossover cable with no luck. I tried a couple of the examples on the FAQ & still nada. Perhaps next version will be better.
IMHO XBOX Live is worth the money. It's a BLAST!!! especially w/ games that aren't on Mac's like Crismon Skies & Mech Warrior.

At GameStop (my place of work) the subscription price is $40 a year. Don't know if that helps or not. LOVE my Xbox Live!
