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.

Decided to swap the Dreamcast's modem with the one from a second Dreamcast I've had for ages and it's doing something different at least..! Unlike before when it spoke in tongues, this time it displays one line of gibberish then stops for awhile before trying to connect again. I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this one...
