1. Ubuntu 8.10 on AMD Phenom X3 box

2. Zoom 3095 hardware usb modem. Works in every os (with some work), and is pretty cheap on ebay.

3. Used a Dreamcast 56k NTSC modem ver. B

4. Great guide here, thanks Ryochan! This youtube video was also a prime source of knowledge.

5. Planet Web 2.6

6. Just needed a line voltage inducer. Used the guide on OC. Be sure to use a fully charged battery!

my mgetty.config

debug 4
fax-id
speed 57600
port ttyACM0
data-only y
issue-file /etc/issue.mgetty


my mgetty launch command

sudo /sbin/mgetty -s 57600 -D /dev/ttyACM0


which spewed out this in my logs..

got my modem driver from here

I would suggest only using Ubuntu 8.10 as 9.10 gave me issues

I installed gnome-ppp to find the location of my modem. It seems this modem always shows up as tty.ACM0 so you have to create the file options.ttyACM0 in your /etc/ppp/ folder. Mine looks like this...

192.168.0.2:192.168.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0


The first ip is the local ip of the linux box (find it with "sudo ifconfig") and the second is the ip of the Dreamcast which can be anything in your router's ip pool.

In etc/ppp/options, the ms-dns ip should be the local ip of your router (look on your router box) but it can be changed to be any ip you wish to connect to. You can change it to the ip of the pso server you wish to connect to for example.

Port mapping is something that needs to be looked into, but so far I was able to have a full game with lordnikon that ran flawlessly. Hoewever a couple other times I just got endless hanging and really slow loading.

Have a new setup over hear with some interesting results.


1. Acer Aspire ONE 8GB SSD netbook running Crunchbang linux kernel 2.6.28-13-generic

2. same usb ZOOM 3095.

3. Tested with Dreamcast Rev A and Rev B modems (more on that later)

4. Same guide as before, but more research had to be done

5. Planet Web 2.0

6. Using the wireless connection of the netbook, and a line voltage simulator for BOTH rev A and rev B mdems.

Notes:

So I had a pc-dc server setup before as you can see. However, the speed was horrible for anything other than web browsing using the Rev B + line voltage. In pso, I'd often time out and not even be able to see my chat displayed.

I later switched to a Rev A modem, but it wouldn't connect at all! On a whim I tried it with the line voltage and VIOLA! The connection was great, speed incredible, and very stable!

Also, I used a linksys WRT54G2 wireless router.

I intend to make a short video guide for anyone else wanting to have a similar setup.
