Bit of a long shot this i know, but, is there anyway of running two (or more) Dreamcasts online through dial up ( i only have one phone line)?
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

Having two dial up connections on the same line is not possible. You can send two signals at the same time, that's how ADSL works, but they have to be sent through different channels or they will interfere in each other and result in disconnection. The only way would be getting a broadband connection and setting two DC-PC servers, or maybe using two BBA's (or one BBA and one dial up account), but again, you need a broadband connection for that. | |||

2 dreamcasts online through dial up on the same line is like trying to make 2 phone calls to different people when the phones are on the same line. | |||

Even if you were able to get it working..
It more then likely wouldn't have enough bandwidth to support two connections. |
|||

well i may be way off when i say this, but if you have a 56k connection with 2 56k modems then maybe you would get like 28k connection speed for both which is like the pal modems. i could be horribly off though and it would definitly be slower. | |||

Actually 56k modems have a peak connection of 53.3 I believe.
But some people, ( including me ) don't connect even close to 53k. |

If you have broadband and extensive knowledge of routing, then I imagine one could rig up a computer with multiple voice modems to a single ethernet card. | |||

YES, you can, it is called ICS... internet connection sharing
like a few people in this thread have already stated, you would be really slow on both systems, only prolly grabbing about fax speed 14.4 kbps... so there is almost no reason in the world you would ever want to use ics... ever |

I did that once. it was great back in the dialup days... which are still very much alive for the dreamcast i suppose |
