Can Someone possible help me? I am stuck at the last step with planet web. I am following the VMWARE guide using crunch bang.
First off I have my modem on COM port 3 by following the settings,

Modem uses tty1 to my knowledge...anyways following the guide upon connect. I get the mgetty no process error. I do further reading and notice i have to type sudo /sbin/mgetty -s 115200 -D /dev/ttyS0 or something similar with '"AT' to start mgetty. That is not in the tutorial so..thats where im stuck. I ran the AT command in the terminal and nothing appears. just spaces down below. the tail commands to start logging say no directory is available. but when i hit connect on PW and wait 3 seconds to KILL. i hear a long dialup tone on my computer but nothing happens...Can someone please help ive made it this far!.... btw, i have a ROSEWILL RNX-56USB with connexant and a revision A modem. no line inducer..

1-sudo mgetty -D /dev/tty1 -m ‘”" AT’

2-sudo tail -f /var/log/mgetty/mg_tty1.log

3-sudo killall -USR1 mgetty

I'm planning on getting my Dreamcast online soon, I just need to buy the USB modem. I found this (1.) modem on the Walmart website, and this (2.) modem on ebay. I feel that the one on ebay looks cheap, but if it will get the job done, then why not? I would just like some input on this, as to which modem you guys think would work best, or if it just doesn't matter.
I know something about hardware vs. software based USB modems will make some form of difference, and I'm not sure which these are. So any help will be appreciated, and any help means I'll get online sooner!

For a reference point, I'm using this method: http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/guides/p ... uide-win7/

Hope I posted this in the right section.
Thanks in advance.

Yea. Did not like that one on Ebay either. It doesn't have any form of brand name on it, and looks very poorly built. That one you gave the link for on Ebay looks to be very good. Looks like I'm going to have to spend a little more than I wanted to though. But I guess if your going to do something, do it the right way, right?

I would rather deal with Ebay, and that one looks to be good, so I'll probably go with that one. Thanks.

This one is not the LB-LINK: .Do not buy!

[Sean1699]

Do you feel that this would be fine though?
