3.0, 98, PPP over serial
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Dweller

I have read quite a bit on this and it seems one document will contradict the next.

I have done everything I can find out how to do to make this work, but cannot establish a connection over serial using PPP to a 98 machine.

Dial up server will cycle between monitoring, answering and hanging up.

Must I upgrade to 2k or XP to make this work?

I am no genius with Windows but I tried with windows 98 and got tired of it so I install Win2k and got it running very fast. If you can upgrade to Win2k, do it.

To install PPP over serial was not an easy task but I was able to do it be following about 25 different thread(I am almost not kidding!)

Good Luck!

If you got PPP over serial working in a new win2k install, I would sure be interested to know the settings that finally worked for you.

Well, thanks for teh replys :) I too gave up and installed XP. :D

I have TiVoFTPd running, and todays task is TiVoWeb. Then I can finally get my lineup fixed. After that, time to play with me new toy ;)

Its been a fun experience getting all this happening although it did get a bit frustrating from time to time.

Does anyone have a WWW server with all the standard goodies someone may want to upload to a TiVo like tivoftpd, ls, tivoweb etc? I could have used that yesterday when I had to setup a www server to get tivoftps transferred via http_get.

If someone had that maybe we could post a list of properly formatted get_http command lines for newbies (like myself :D ) to cut and paste into a telnet session.

Also a "Linux basics for dummies" would be cool. I was able to learn what I needed from various helpful posts, but a simple command reference would be nice for frequently used commands.

Anyway, thanks again all :)
