RE: Ethernet Convertors!!!!

NP.

Excellent.  Now, of course, you're going to test that you can revert to
dial-out via modem :-)
In fact, if you want to be _really_ funky, you can work out why, as someone
else posted, if you remove the ethernet card then dialout fails completely
despite having changed it to eth1 so the modem dialout should still work.
For a bonus point, you would then come up with a workaround so that:
1/ You can have the turbonet card installed and updating over the net
or you can modify the setup so that
2/ You can have the turbonet card installed and updating over the modem
3/ You can pull the turbonet card and still update over the modem.

The sound, no doubt, improved by the fact that it's a wireless connection
:-)
All we need now is wireless connections to our amps, speakers and mains
(Power by induction maybe?) so that you can just walk into a room, plonk a
Rio/audiotron/slimp3 and a pair of speakers on the floor, and hey presto -
totally wireless streaming music!!!

> So in short I can highly recommend them to anybody!

I was surprised not to have any probs - or even to have to change the setup
at all.
Haven't even tried connecting to mine to look at the setup of it....

I know the airnet cards for Tivo are due out at some point, but I wonder if
there's room enough inside the TiVo case to fit the innards of the ethernet
converter.....hmmmm.....

anyway, glad you liked em.


Tony
