    The version of PuTTY I have installed doesn't allow you to connect through COM1.

    Is there sumthing here I'm missing ?

    The best way to use the serial connection is to setup a PPP connection.. this allows you to do everything you can do with a turbonet card ..

    If you have Windows XP it's easy:

    I started trying the PPP over Serial last night but had some issues with routing :/

    It was working fine but then after a reboot the TiVo decided it needed to dial up to fix itself (3 hour phone call).

    I'm guessing it was something with one of the edits to rc.sysinit so will restore again when I get home and hopefully have a TiVo going tonight.
