I've had no luck building a Dc-Pc server with my PAL modem (see my other thread), but while I've been searching around I've seen a pattern of posts which seem to show that even with a line voltage inducer, the PAL modem is extremely picky about which USB modems it will communicate with. This thread shows my exact problem: http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/communit ... =33&t=4343 I've seen other threads like this, and also one where changing the USB modem solved the problem.
The modem I'm using is a common Conexant one with two square green lights on the top, I've seen people using this modem successfully which makes me think that actually there is something different about PAL DC modems.
Has anyone figured out why some modems work and some don't? Is there something obviously different with PAL modems?
