Linksys spa voip is used to connect to one Saturn to another Saturn (via the Internet and another voip) and Not to the Internet directly. For that you need a dial-up service or similar eg. DreamPi

For internet you need a dreampi. That linksys adapter will not work for internet only netlink games.

You need this http://www.dreamcastlive.net/mobile/shop.html
Standard Dreampi kit for internet

Works for Dreamcast and Sega Saturn Internet

Seems to be a port forwarding issue to me or a setting on the voip adapter

Yesterday I found that phone line port1 of adapter does not work. When I connected the phone, I did not hear the dial tone. Although the device responded to the pressing of the buttons. So today I set everything up for the second line in which the dial tone worked. ;)
And today, Bring and I made a test run.Here's how it looked :lol:

Bad connect i thinking,but beetwen us near 2000km

I'm glad it actually connected! Hopefully we might have some new settings to test soon with voip that may help improve speed. I need to get with the sega sanshiro guys and see if they've made any progress.
