    Iam really interested in your project!
    I ended in this topic, while searching for some hardware device that simulates an modem line (like ISP Modem) and route all trafic to LAN connection.

    Your projects is AWSOME. Please give us some updates about that. If you make an kickstarter, i will help you in project.

    Thank you for your hard work really,

    I am very excited about this. About 15 years ago I built a website that serves up VMU icons through the Dreamcast's web browser. Didn't think anyone used it anymore but the other day a user reached out to me about it. Would love to get it back up and running but with no way to dialup I don't have way to test it out.

    I would buy this if you made it for sale. As soon as you have more details available, I am going to build my own though.

    Hey Dreamcast. I have Over 30 Different ARM M3 - M4 Chips, ranging in package from QFP64 all the way to QFP144. Im going to link my entire chip library + datasheets cloud folder off my server. Let me know if you require any chips in this link: http://www.cyrusdevxcloud.tk/public.php?service=files&t=75f0ec95338a0418c4b9d5ec016e49f2

    I will NOT hesitate to provide any number for you :D. I got about 5 of each chip in there. Along with around 50+ extra supporting chips.
    I would skip ARM and just use this. http://www.cyrusdevxcloud.tk/public.php?service=files&t=5afd92f27722ccb7f486ffd85fc3ca39
    That is a PIC32 x86 Microcontroller, clocked @ 200Mhz, 2MB Flash storage, and 512KB of Internal RAM. I also have Extra NVSRAM Chips that range from 8Mb to 16Mb. These are a perfect counter part with the PIC32MZ family. Some other parts are not listed in my first link provided, such as I2C and SPI bus expansions. RS232 MCU to other RS232 TTL transceivers. Dedicated USB to (SPI, I2C, UART, TLL) All in one chip with Full Speed USB 2.0.

    My personal email is Cyrusmaintea@ g m A il. COM, skype is the same as my username here. Let me know your play of action. Ill support you all the way :D.

    I have done a lot of reading and basically what I gather is the reason we can't easily reproduce these are because of the software used correct???

    Thanks again to everyone for their (continued) interest in the adapter. Work-related projects have taken precedence these past few months, but I will be able to continue development on this and other Dreamcast projects at the beginning of next month :).

    I hope you can continue on the project. Like some one mentioned earlier, Crowed funding is a way to go on this if you need money. I mean I would rather donate money to this than a guy who was making potato salad for the first time..... I'm being serious about that. A guy got like $5000 to make potato salad on kickstarter. So your project would be a sinch to raise money for.
