Well, I got back to the Dreamcast dial-up project. I verified I had everything set up and did another test call from a handset to the number I configured and yep, I'm hearing modem noises.

I tried connecting from the Dreamcast and I got "NO CARRIER" multiple times, then after a few tries the text output box started speaking in tongues. I don't know enough about the USB modem I ordered to see what it's seeing, either. I'm stumped.

A discussion with a friend got me wondering something...

What color is the Dreamcast swirl logo to you? Some say it is red and some say it’s deep orange but I feel it is a perception thing, or the fact the Dreamcast was almost always played on CRT TVs back in the day with stock composite cables for most folks, meaning it added color warmth, gamma shifts and slight hue variations
