FROM A DREAMCAST HARDWARE SPECS PAGE:

Customized OS using Windows CE as its base (Supports Direct X) for
a flexible, versatile development environment supported by Microsoft Visual Studio development System Version 5.0 and refined Visual C++. As a result, Dreamcast software is compatible with PCs and can take full advantage of hardware features. The OS will be on every Dreamcast disc to allow for easy upgrades. Also, Sega will provide its own OS which will allow developers access to even more of the Dreamcast's vast powers.

Also the dreamcast has a 33.6kbps modem. I had one for a month or two and it came with a browser disk...although i wouldnt recommend it...was pritty lame! It can be upgraded though.

I got the info from here.

Hope this helps!
