I think you have to load modded software to enable USB networking on those units, so it isn't something trivial to do. However, I think it may be possible to get it working with Vonage. I'd check TiVoCommunity.com and search for threads on Vonage in the DirecTiVo forum there. I vaguely recall that there is some string to force a slower connection, or something like that. -- [email protected] / [email protected] Geek, Gweep, Technophile, me. www.GizmoLovers.com / www.MegaZone.org / www.Eyrie-Productions.com Hail Eris Twitter.com/megazone / Facebook.com/megazone / www.LinkedIn.com/in/megazone "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 432-363-4296 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
