dreamcast dial-up emulator?

[Zephyrr]

I have cable and wireless internet so I can't play internet, but I've heard of a way to run dial-up through your computer for the Dreamcast. Is this true? If so could I have a link to the file.

Yes, there is a way to re-route your broadband connection to your dc's 56k modem.... however apparently its hard/very few people have successfully done it.

Here is the guide i used ( for XP )

Theres a few things to note:

1.) You need a voice enabled modem to "fake" dialing

2.) Since you'll probably be doing the same setup as me ( I'm guessing via your wireless connection on XP )... you'll need to change your arp on your computer IP from dynamic to static ( as well as any other computer on the network )

3.) You'll need to check your DC's modem if its a "A" or "B" modem.... If its a "B" you'll need to make a line voltage inducer ( unless you use a external 56k modem on the pc side ), but if its a "A" there won't be a need for building it.

Anyway, thats about all the info I can give you on the setup.... if you have problems ill try to help out ( although I may be slow on the replies. )

Actually I have windows 7 on my laptop, will it still work?

That I do not know.... I use XP....

Although judging how there's still compatibility issues with win 7 and also how its build for win 98.... I don't know if it will work at all.

The only thing i can suggest is to try it, and if it doesn't work then you know your answer.

One more question, will it work with wireless internet?

Yes, but it will be slow just like it was. I know that because I followed a guide and setup my PC to dialup from my laptop.
