This directory contains the files needed to get an altepg (Series 1) TiVo to use PPP over its serial port
for daily calls, instead of using the dial-up modem.

These are MODIFIED files:

/etc/rc.d/rc.ppp
/tvlib/tcl/tv/TClient-lib.itcl

----------------------------------------------------------
Installation instructions:

Copy these 2 files onto the TiVo disk (you might want to take backup copies of the two modified files).
That's all!  When you reboot TiVo you should be able to establish a telnet session over the serial cable.

----------------------------------------------------------
Notes on these files:

/etc/rc.d/rc.ppp
  Run at start-up, this establishes the PPP connection.
  The PPP server at the other end of the serial cable needs to be running before TiVo start.
  
/tvlib/tcl/tv/TClient-lib.itcl
  modified version of the script that controls "phone home" calls. This one skips the modem dial-up step.
