ISP PAP modem fix

[catdog]

Will the mod'ed tivoapp also work for ISPs that just use plain text [login] authentication?

This mod bypasses the plain text login procedure - if your ISP only needs a plain text login then there is no need to implement this mod as the standard tivo files can handle that ok.

On saying this, an ISP which does plain text (eg xtra) will almost certainly also support PAP if the tivo initiates it, so the mod should not break anything.

I assume that we need to FTP tivoapp in binary mode (right?).

Yes, it is a binary file. Also make sure the new file on the tivo is executable as Skolink pointed out (chmod 755 tivoapp) - the FTP program may do this for you automatically.

Also, it would be good to list the ISPs that do/do not need the mod'ed tivoapp.

A start (prefixed by country):

* tivoapp mod not needed:
NZ-PlaNet
NZ-xtra (needs confirming?)
NZ-paradise.net (needs confirming?)

* tivoapp mod needed:
?

The trouble is that ISPs tend to change things with out telling anyone (and windows machines dont need to be reconfigured after each change so most people dont notice).

Just found some related info at this post:

which suggests that the mod works for many NZ ISPs.

Yep - works on every NZ isp I have tested: slingshot, e3, xnet, xtra.
