configured PC-DC for VirtualBOX

I can have success with PCI modem in my experiments

But yeah, neee to have good driver installed

No voice Conexant SoftModem (actualy is voice, but linux driver dont support, windows does)

Custom Script, uses 1 ATA to act as tone noise "like" and another to actual connection. If enabled, Blind dial games dont even need that tone sound.

Dial some seconds after first ATA
Full speed.

Replace file /usr/local/bin/dreampi
dreampi_2ata_pci.zip

This actually helped me connect to the internet for the first time with my DC. I used garbage Trust MD-1250 modem for this and your dreampi file.

It's kind of unstable though, when I was browsing the web, it would load all the pages I chose, but still I would randomly disconnect in a couple of minutes and terminal text would show that modem has hanged and must restart itself. I fiddled couple of times with the connection attempts and managed to connect to Sylverant PSO server, and even played for 15 minutes without any problems, but then It would disconnect itself again. It looks like modem turns off very fast, so I need a precise timing to actually connect. Then after while it loses connection somehow, and I don't know why.

Well there is some bad modems, maybe old and tired, it seems to be your particular modem case.

I have other "no voice" modems, that I can use with custom script with normal behavior.

Brand new error pops up ever since I started to use the dell modem so I am getting more conclusions. The script stops after pictured error pops up but it leaves the dreamcast stuck dialing

Ok , that's weird

1.I'm suspecting the USB connection, or even the virtual machine. Try changing USB port or try another computer.

2. Please use VMware Player to see the behavior.

3.You must make sure that the usb modem is connected "inside" the VM.

4.Ultimately, leave the modem on the main OS and share the COM port through the VM's virtual serial port.

Show us this command results:
1. lsusb
2. wvdialconf

Some home work for u

You just described my GD-ROM.

tbh I don't know the condition of my modem, but it looked unused when it arrived. Maybe it's just some settings that I need to change.

Oh, was "new" one

Try lower baud rate, like 38400

Find for 57600 and replace to 38400

Ok How do I do number 2 and how do I show the commands

[Scrivani]

Open a new command window

Then type the commands

lsusb (is LSUSB lowercase) - then press enter

After

wvdialconf - enter again

Will output results


About VMWare Player, just download the software and we Dreamcast-TALK again

[Nugget_boi]

ok I did what you asked and here are the results

[Nugget_boi]

just out of curiosity is this info correct

[Scrivani]

All seems ok tbh
