Introduced more gamers to Netlink Voiping. All successful connections :). Thinking about starting up a Saturn Saturday regular game night soon.

Hey guys, interesting stuff. I dont understand exactly how it works, If you connect with dreampi do you still need the VOIP Adapter? Or can you just connect the Saturn Netlink to the Dreampi ?

Dreampi is just for Surfing the internet / Sending E-mails/ Connecting to NetLink Zone

You'll need the VOIP Adapter to play NetLink games online.

Hopefully we can figure out a Raspberry Pi solution though for Saturn NetLink someday.

Is the QoS setting mandatory? I just found out that my AT&T U-Verse 5268ac router doesn't have a QoS function.
