Hi! My Series 2 Tivo requires a phone line to do guided setup.
http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=406951
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?
