There is some info on the modem and BBA but, I have no idea if it can help.

KallistiOS (the Dreamcast homebrew SDK) supports most of the standard sockets API used by pretty much every OS for developing networked code. Pretty much anyone who has developed a C program using the standard sockets API on a PC should be able to figure it out.

You certainly don't need to worry about the low level details of dealing with the hardware of the modem and/or BBA -- that's all already handled internally in KallistiOS.
