Being you have a Raspberry Pi 2, you will need a micro SD card, and download DreamPi v1.6 & Win32 Disk Imager. Also, required hardware would be a dial-up modem that is Linux/Raspberry Pi compatible and a LVI that supports the phone line voltage required in your area (unless you have a modem already). The LVI you can make, modems are not expensive (notably, the Dell NW147 works best). You can get a modded modem from TacT at DC talk like many of us so you would not have to make the LVI and it is pre-tested prior to sending it out to you. PCwzrd13 also makes LVI's if you already have a modem.
Dreamcast Live has a video tutorial regarding the DreamPi. This is very well done as it is a really good tutorial.
Good luck.

You shouldn't have to edit the script. Just make sure to use the command line argument
--enable-dial-tone when you launch the script. There will be a message in the output if dial tone generation is enabled.

It should look like
Sudo ./dreampi2.py --enable-dial-tone
Right? Thanks!

I explicitly disabled the write timeout in the script so I am not sure what is happening. I am looking at the pySerial source code and I think I see where the problem would occur; the line number is different in master. But there should be no way that this error would happen. Which version of Python are you trying to run the script on? I usually just use Python 2.7.12 since that is the default Python interpreter on Xubuntu 16.04. I haven't tested the script on Python 3.5.2 in a while but it should still work. Also, which version of pySerial are you using? I am using version 3.0.1.

EDIT: I had pyserial 3.3, deleted it and installed 3.0.1 now it works perfect! Thanks alot!

That is weird. Maybe I should check that version out. It sounds like the library no longer conforms to the behavior described in the current documentation.
