PC-DC server on Vista/Win7/XP etc. (Sort of)

[brourke228]

I just updated the guide with a quoted version of ryochan's site from a web archive. The config files he had for download on his website weren't backed up so I will attach them to the original post at a later date once I get a hold of them.

So I attempted to set this up and this happens:

So I've tried a few different drivers and a couple different cables and I still can't get it to work. If anyone has gotten this to work with a 32-bit "workstation 6.5-7.X" PCI setup and would be able to send me the files that'd be greatly appreciated.

I have the same modem as Ryochan, but Ubuntu's gnome-ppp won't recognize it. Yes, I have made sure I use the serial port option in VMware, and checked that it uses the corresponding port to the modem (COM5).

Hello!

I'm having a little problem.

After spending hours doing all that is on the tutorial, when I try the connection it happens:

Code: Select all

What should I do now? I'm using a Conextant USB modem. My Dreamcast modem is european rev A.

Hey all. So i moved and my new place doesn't offer a phone line so i decided to make a pc dc server. After many days of frustration ive decided to ask for help finally. im running crunchbang in vmware with a rev. A dc modem and a zoom 3095 usb modem. after following the steps and dailing in with my dreamcast, my mg_ttyS1 file gives me this

Im so close i can taste it. If anyone can help me out you would be my hero for life!

EDIT: Is it true that zoom 3095 needs a line voltage adapter no matter what?
if thats the case ill switch and see if i can use my old us robotics 5633 that i used for this back in 2006

Ok... so. i tried the old USR modem and this is what happens now:

What am I doing wrong here?

What exactly is this called? Im looking for other guides but "pc-dc server" only gets me about 3 results. I setup the server fine using this guide but its very very slow. Any commands or methods to go about speeding it up at least by half?

[DR TEAMCAST]

And for everyone getting timed out you have to dial on the dreamcast before you type sudo killall -USR1 mgetty. If the phone is taken off the hook before the dc dials the dial gets lost and it times out. ALSO heres some commands to speed things up ( not by much, its still pretty slow for me but it could be my modem)

When you open the four tabs give yourself super user privaleges to evade permission blocking: su -

Then allow packet forwarding with this:
/bin/ech "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Open mgetty with this:
sudo /sbin/mgetty -s 460800 -D /dev/ttyS1

Log commands same

On fourth tab before you take the link off the hook with the kill all command use this command:
sudo mgetty switchbd 460800

Dial on the dreamcast

Then:
sudo killall -USR1 mgetty

And it should connect. If it works for anyone let me know if its really slow for you also
