It's fine, you just put it in a different subnet that you can't reach.

Has anyone ever tried using the VoIP adapter on Dreamcast? I currently use a BBA so I haven't got a DreamPi yet, but really want to get into this for Saturn. It'd be cool to use this for dialup Dreamcast games

They're different concepts. Netlink is direct dial between modems and that's what the VOIP adapter allows you to do. Dial-up needs to dial into a server that provides an IP address and internet access. The dreampi setup most people use acts as this server. The VOIP adapter alone will not do that.

Thank you for the confirmation. Someone made an off hand comment somewhere else saying it 'probably' would work but I figured not

Hey guys,

Thanks for accept me. I'm from Brazil and I love Sega Saturn since 1990's.

Well, I'm here because I bought the netlink and VOIP from Ebay. It'll take a few months to come to Brazil.

I really want play online Sega Saturn games.

Best regards.

Will the SPA 2102 work for Saturn? I did see it mentioned once in this thread but I think the user was talking about trying to access the internet, not difficulty with using it for VoIP.

SPA2102 Hasn't been tested but if its unlocked and has similar settings I would think it would work fine
