What led me to actually work on this project was my desire to utilize my current method of Internet access (CableModem) because I just didn't feel like tying up my phone line every time I wanted to use my DC on the Internet.'

  1. How exactly is this high-speed.... by wholesomegrits · · Score: 4

    Since 99% of slashdotters don't even bother to read the article before posting comments, it ought to be said that this isn't exactly 'high speed'. That's a bit deceptive. It's nifty and stuff, but not like you're getting broadband to the sega.

    You're still limited by the modem in the dreamcast, regardless of how fast an internet connection you have.

    A modem is not high speed.
