i was wondering if i could use an adaptor to switch the telephone cable from my dreamcast into an ethernet cable which would then plug into my pc and then i would setup my pc-dc connection
im kind of 13 and have no money so im trying to set this up as cheaply as possible Thanks, L |

This process is what the PC-DC server is for. It is the "adapter", which involves:
Dreamcast > Phone Cable > 56k Serial Modem > Serial Cable > PC > Linux > Local Network > Internet So it will take some money. The concept of there being a small cheap little adapter that would magically convert dialup to broadband isn't available. Even if there was a device small enough to be considered an adapter, its still going to approach half the cost of a BBA at least due to the tech that would need to be in it. The linkages that you see above are still needed. You will need a minimum of 40 bucks to get components to setup a PCDC server. To avoid wasting money on the wrong components, i recommend building your shopping list asking us if you have selected the right parts. |
