Does the JP Sega Saturn Modem (and its games) work? If so, does anyone have a guide for setting it up?

JP Modem uses traditional Xband software similar to Genesis/Snes Xband. Meaning there is no Direct Dial mode like there is with USA Netlink.

The sorta good news is there's a an active XBAND group in the process of reverse engineering the Xband server software. So when that happens and provided they open source it, we'll very likely be able to get Japanese Saturn games working again as it's software package has been confirmed to be identical to Genesis/Snes xband.

They also claimed to have a "better" way to connect devices w/o VOIP but I'm not entirely confident that will actually happen.
