This directory contains the files needed to get an unhacked Series 1 TiVo to use PPP over its serial port
for daily calls, instead of using the dial-up modem. The files also enable telnet access to TiVo.

These are NEW files (not present on an unhacked TiVo):

/etc/ppp-options.cua3
/etc/rc.d/rc.ppp
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author
/sbin/route.fake
/sbin/route.tivo

These are MODIFIED files:

/tvlib/tcl/tv/TClient-lib.itcl
/etc/tclientUK.conf

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

Copy these 7 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/ppp-options.cua3
  This provides the configuration settings for running PPP on TiVo's serial port
  
/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.
  
/etc.rc.d/rc.sysinit.author
  This file is not normally present on an unhacked TiVo, but rc.sysinit looks for it and runs it if it is there.
  The file provided here runs rc.ppp (above) and then starts the telnet daemon.

/sbin/route.fake
/sbin/route.tivo
  route.fake is a dummy file.
  route.tivo is the same as /sbin/route.
  Used when starting the PPP connection
  
/tvlib/tcl/tv/TClient-lib.itcl
  modified version of the script that controls "phone home" calls. This one skips the modem dial-up step.
  
/etc/tclientUK.conf
  this file has an extra dial-in configuration code (127) for contacting the altepg server.
