Well it depends what model you have, and if you care what
version of the software you run.
But I have zippered my friends series
2.
Hi! My Series 2 Tivo requires a phone line to do guided
setup.

After
that I can configure the Wireless USB Adapter in Networking, but unfortunately
with my OS Tivo Version, I supposedly MUST (according to Tivo) have the
phone.
I did see a few old posts about using Windows XP Hyperterm and a
NULL modem connection from PC to rj11.

I
have a serial null modem cable, but...
a) I don't have any Serial
connection on my Vista
b) I have pppd on linux
c) I don't have a rj11
adapter (could go to radio shack?)
and some for getting around the Guided
Setup via a dialout hack using ",401# with a ethernet DHCP connection:

d)
I have only a Wireless USB - not an ethernet one.
1) Anyone have a
house with a hardwired phone line and a full boat cable I can do setup
with? (Takes about 5 hours via phone line)?
2) Other
suggestions?
