I have an unusual situation, I have a working STN system (7 months uptime!)
to which I need to add a local serial port connection. I have a fixed IP DSL
connection and two internal subnets. I need to add internet access to a TiVo
(Linux based personal video recorder, with only a serial port - no
ethernet.) The TiVo currently connects up to the internet thru a built-in
modem. I don't have a phone line near my TV, so I have to run a wire across
the room to dial-in every night. Some people have found a way to get it to
use an internet connection instead.
(http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/Forum6/HTML/000398.html &
http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/Forum6/HTML/000241.html) I would love to get
rid of the extra phone cord.
I have instructions on adding pppd and tnlited to the TiVo, but I don't know
how to add a serial connection to STN. The connection can be to either Com1:
or Com2: but it must be 115K, 8N1, NO Flow Control. This is a three wire
serial port interface.
I have a working connection to the TiVo, currently running a bash prompt to
a PC w/ HyperTerminal. Obviously the bash connection will go away when pppd
is loaded. I want to be able to Telnet into the TiVo from my other
subnet(s).
What do I need to add to my Manual Startup Commands to get this to work?
Thanks,
Stan Simmons
