This can be done on Dreamcast, but it's a really big hassle to get it working. you're better off getting a BBA.

short answer: yes you can.

longer answer: in order for you to be able to use your modem, you need to dial-up into another computer on your network. you would need what's referred to as a "PPP server". most linux distros can be setup for that pretty easily. but you would have to "dial" from your device to your PC (using 2 phones lines, one to dial out to your phone company) and one to dial into your PPP server (from the phone company). you can shortcut that by using a ATA device and setting up a virtual modem with something like asterisk (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Anal ... e+Adapters). the cost of the ATA device is probably going to be pretty close to the BBA, except that the BBA is plug and play, and the ATA is a hell of a lot of work to get going...

solution: it'll be cheaper and a hell of a lot easier to get a BBA off ebay or something and use that.

You can do it without the need for a phone line I read somewhere, but you need to make your PC a dial-up server.

Here's a guide to do it with a Dreamcast and the dial up adapter in Windows 98.
