Hi Ralph,
If you're running Windows (Boo!), download and install 'putty' (first hit on Google). When you run it, put your TiVo's IP address in the 'Host Name' box and select 'telnet' as the protocol (the port should then set to 23). You will also need to untick "Return key sends telnet New Line instead of ^M" in the Connection->Telnet settings. Press the 'Open' button and (hopefully) it will connect to your TiVo and present you with a screen with a prompt like:
and you're there.Code:[TiVo [p0] ~]#
If you're running Linux (Yay!), open a terminal session and type "telnet <IP-address-of-tivo>".
If you're running OSX (Meh!), open its terminal and do as above (for linux). Alternatively there might also be putty-like telnet clients for OSX.
Hope this helps .
Cheers, Dave.
