Long Distance
The articles arn't working so i don't know the answer to this question. The netlink connects directly to other users? How do you avoid long distance charges? Any help understanding would be great.
You need to get a Saturn first thoughOverwatch wrote:To bad thats not an option for me I live outside of Houston but not IN Houston....

I was reading online and found that vonage would be the perfect answer to my delima. The people that have had success use a dial combination and the phone number. You would also need a good modem (it is hit and miss). Would anyone be willing to try this to play a saturn game? i don't have vonage or a netlink but would really like to know if this works. If anyone is interested i will dig up the key combiation.

Welcome to the boards, Zandengoff! IP phone sounds great for NetLink at first glance. But your games will be at the mercy of network traffic. In my experience, game playing over IP phone will not be terrible, but it may have interrupts, lag, and other problems that you just don't get over a normal phone line. So I recommend using any one of the 10-10 services and keeping a normal line to play with- when you play a game and have virtually no lag, you won't regret it.Zandengoff wrote:I was reading online and found that vonage would be the perfect answer to my delima.

It is like a regular phone call, so no, you only pay long distance if you are the caller.mjshopgames wrote:if you are the person waiting will you have to pay long distance charges if they are half way across the world??? and do you know where i can find a netlink for cheap??? Please get back to me as soon as possible!!! THanks
There are usually NetLink's on eBay for really cheap, but there are none at the moment, save for a ridiculously priced $100 one. Wait a few days and I am sure one will pop up.
