I havn't downloaded any games yet so I don't really know how long it will take. Has anyone burned a DC game with a phone line hook up? And how long does it take for: Phone line, Cable, Sattelite?

It all depends on the particular connection of each type. Generally speaking, the maximum speed that you are able to download using a dial up connection is 5 kilobytes per second. Consider this:
1 Megabyte = 1000 Kilobytes
1 Dreamcast game = 300 - 800 Megabytes
You do the math. It can be done, just not much fun.
Cable speed can vary depending on your location and deal you get from your provider. Same with satellite
bottom line is only a jack ass would download with a 56k u at least want a dsl or something
