The Mega Terminal (MEGA ターミナル) is a Japan-only accessory for the Sega Mega Drive. It is exceptionally rare and has not been widely documented, however is known to interact with the Sega Mega Modem in some way.
It is presumed the device can link up to an ISDN telephone line and transmit (or receive) data at a rate of 1200-2400bps. As ISDN lines only charged by the number of packets transmitted rather than the length of time connected it could often work out cheaper to use ISDN than a standard line. This was especially true in a game such as Go, which took a long time between moves, whilst transmitting little data.
