That will get you to the POL forum's download center where you can
download the Ultima Online emulator POL (Pen-Ultima Online).  With
the $20 client from Best Buy he and anyone he likes can be testing
virtual communities until their eyeballs dry out.

The distro-emulator is pretty much ready to go out of the box with
only minor adjustments.  I can run the emulator and the client on my
laptop along with a dozen or so friends with no trouble.  We run our
server from a server-class machine, however.  The upward limit I've
heard is about 250 active players at one time.
