I'm not sure what you're referring to.
The XBAND was a physical modem by Catapult for the Genesis and the Super Nintendo that allowed subscription multiplayer gaming over a phone line.
XBAND 2.0 and XBAND 3.0 were pieces of software developed by a team of people to simulate the experience, only emulated on the computer. To my knowledge, neither were completed beyond alpha or beta forms, and it's been a while since there's been a status update from either one. I don't know whether the servers are even up anymore. As far as I know, neither are currently under active development.

I'm sure I have a version somewhere, but there are later versions than mine. Poke around the forums - there might be valid download links still in there. As I said, though, you'll still need to connect to a server for matching purposes, and I don't know if any are still up. Furthermore, you'll need another player also on the service.
The major issue has always been lack of interest - there just haven't been enough people with sustained interest to bother continuing development and to keep servers running.
