Dreamcast & Your Cablemodem/DSL
Saw this over at Geeknews:
"After a week of playing around, I finally found the combination of what works and what is needed to properly set up Linux to act as a dial-up ppp server and allow my DREAMCAST console to access it. What led me to actually work on this project was my desire to utilize my current method of Internet access (CableModem) because I just did'nt feel like tying up my phone line every time I wanted to use my DC on the Internet. I know there are alot of users out there who have high-speed internet access such as CableModem or DSL, and alot of us would love to have a Broadband (Ethernet) Adapter for the DC. This solution does not solve the high-speed acccess we want, but it does provide a solution to allowing us to utilize the CableModem/DSL access we already have. This is even perfect for those of us who have multiple PC's accessing the Internet via Linux's wonderful ability to do IP Forwarding/Masquerading. If anyone else besides me finds this info useful, then my job was done."
Read the full story here. We've also got an article on setting up mserver (for IP masquerading on Linux via a PPP connection) in Issue #3.
