both my saturns start up the netlink with ease, i just shove it in there and move it left to right twice just to make sure its in there good

If I don't make the adjustment I mentioned, all of my Saturns will appear to recognize the NetLink up until the point when the NetLink actually tries to dial. Then it fails. As I said, it's likely the fault of that particular NetLink unit.

you may be right because last time i tried my netlink Haut D. Forme tried to dial me seven times and they all failed!

Funny you mention that guys because when I tested the NetLink today at first it said there was a problem with the adapter so I removed it and inserted it again and it worked fine. I'm going to leave it my system until I play import games and then swap out the NetLink for the Action Replay Plus cart. Going to be fun lol.

dude did u hear a clicking noise when u connected? mine always does that when i connect direct dial to someone

Once the modem dialed out to my ISP it clicked to dial. Very funny getting that up and running. I can't believe how slow it is online. Hard to believe we used to cruise the net at these speeds. I gave up trying to load my email because I have over 15,000 messages in that email and it was taking forever to load.c I'll try again tomorrow because I really want to check the email interface. I'm also thinking of picking up the second and third browser PlanetWeb released to show the improvements like HTML 2.0 compatibility lol. Must have been really something back then, but today virtually no sites are compatible lol.

The click is normal. That's the sound of the modem connecting to the phone line.

Duke Nukem arrived today, so I'll let you guys know when I'm ready for you to kick my butt and to enjoy a little online co-op. Should be sometime later today or tomorrow depending on when the mrs gets home.
