Description

The Dreamcast is a home video game console by Sega, the first one introduced in the sixth generation of video game consoles. With the release of the Dreamcast in 1998 amid the dot-com bubble and mounting losses from the development and introduction of its new home console, Sega made a major gamble in attempting to take advantage of the growing public interest in the Internet by including online capabilities in the console as a selling point. As such, the Dreamcast was the first console to include a built-in modem for Internet support and online play.

North American consoles (and later Japanese ones per en.wikipedia) use a 56k modem, made with Rockwell/Conexant (en.wikipedia). Sega column says all overseas consoles got 56k - conflict with PAL 33.6k.
