I think you'll find that this is much like dealing with fax. Painfull
and prone to failure. Since Tivo can be a network aware device that's
the more reliable route. 

FWIW, many series 1 Tivo units blew up their on-boards modems. This is
one of the reasons that the TivoNet card to be made. Once the modem was
dead you could add a net card or pay Tivo to exchange yours for a
remanufactured unit. There is also a wireless TivoNet card which saves
you running Cat 5 into your TV room if that's a benefit.

Get the TivoNet card from http://www.9thtee.com/turbonet.htm. I have
one in my series 1 Tivo. It's easy to install, and works great. It'll
be a lot less hassle then trying to make Tivo use an analog line
through your * server. If you consider the cost the FXS port it's
cheaper than going through * anyway.

I've seen success with TiVo when you use a special code to kick it
down to 14.4 kbps and use g711ulaw as the codec. I think your best bet
is to try to eBay the custom nic for the TiVo series 1.

I've thought about this a little... It would be interesting to see if
you could setup an spa2000 with a dialplan that calls another modem on
the second port, and fake the PPP session. Maybe, just maybe, with the
call being local to the device you can get it to work.

Or some kind of T38 type solution...


(BTW, your mail client doesn't quote properly. If running outlook, you
can install quotefix to fix it.)

Oh yeah, for reference try looking at tivocommunity.com on how to
configure your tivo for 14.4 or 19.2 kbps
