Hello, I recently got a modem for my DreamCast and today I just got a modem for my computer because my internal one is not voice compatible.

The one I got is here:

http://www.zoom.com/products/dial_up_in ... ernal_3030

Its the first on on the list, I think it is voice compatible because it supports voice mail and in my hardware page this is what it is listed as:

PCI Soft Voice SoftRing Modem with SmartSP

In my audio section it says this:

Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device

I got this in a craigslist trade for $15, and I can only return it with a few days.

Also, I don't have the listed DreamCast Games to set it up, I have been trying it with Quake 3 but I haven't been successful, are there any games besides the ones listed that will work?

Thank you.

i believe planit web is able to be burned i think we have one on this site

quake 3 is a good game to use so i would stick with it for the moment.

yeah smith made a google mod

Do not use Q3.

Use PW2.6, PW3.0, XDP, PSOv1 NTSC-U/PAL or PSOv2 PAL. You can also try the DC-Talk online PSO ISO. Starlanser, Max Pool or 4x4 Evolution work, but require the VMU save.

Quake 3:
This is a problem because it (the Q3 game disc) will tell the Deramcast to look for the dial-tone. This is the problem in which you have to do the phone line swap (tricky) or just use the PW browser disc.

Recommendation:
Use the browser disc first, this will be a true sign of server working or not. I have to get a voice modem.

Also, make sure you know the IP address range of the router. I posted this a couple of weeks ago within this topic.

forgot about the dial tone

Quake 3 also doesn't have the modem init option, I think I need to use the planet web disc because at the moment I can't do the swap trick (I don't have a long enough phone cord, we don't even have a phone port in the basement, which is where my room is, I think I am going to wire a switch.

All I need to do now is but some CDR discs, Dollar General has a pack of 20 (It might be 25, I am not sure) Discs, they are TDK brand, which I have heard are not quality especially for games.

Thank you for the help.

EDIT:

On this page:

http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=274

It says that the PlanetWeb Browser can be used to configure the ip address's, should I use XDP instead?

EDIT2:

Also, does the information in my previous post:

Also, after reading through the Linux PC - DC server thread here:

http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... f=3&t=1160

It would seem I should use the latest version of PlanetWeb or XDP, right?

Thank you.

i use to use an MP3 recording of dial tone. i spliced a headphone jack into a phone cord and played the audio back on my pc.

i use 2.0 and 3.0. the first one might even be ok for what you are doing. all you want is to be able to get into the online setup.

Planet web 2.6 should work fine. I downloaded XDP and they let u choose between planet web, dream passport, and xdp browser.

You do have a voice modem. The version of planet web shouldnt really matter,

Thank you.

Now all I need are some CDR's.

No one other than syntex error has gotten it to work on XP though.
