Vonage It actually is VERY easy to do, but itis all done on a Mac OS X computer (Mac OS 10.3
It actually is VERY easy to do, but itis all done on a Mac OS X computer (Mac OS 10.3 or newer). So, if you have a PC you will need to find the pages that talk about how to accomplish the same thing on Windows :-(
For OS X you'll need the following:
1. A Macintosh with Mac OS X 10.3 or later and connected to the Internet.
2. Tivo serial cable. The one included with the Tivo is not wired properly for this, so you will either need to buy one:

...make your own with parts you can buy from Radio Shack. Here is how your cable should be wired:

...or if you have a Pronto remote control, the included cable works perfectly (which happens to be what I'm using).
3. A serial to USB converter like this one:

There are other brands on the market, but the above one is the one I use.
Once you have all of the above, then you are ready for it. OK, here we go:
1. Open the Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities
2. Find the name of your serial-to-usb device. You can find a list of all of your devices by typing the following commands on terminal:
cd /dev
ls
The device name will start with "tty.". In my case the device name is "tty.USA19W1b1P1.1".
3. Find your computer's IP address either via terminal or the Network panel in System Preferences. You can use the command:
ifconfig -a
in terminal if you don't want to get your finger off the keyboard.
4. Find an IP address not used by any other devices in your network so that you can choose it for the IP address the Tivo will use.
5. Enter the following command on Terminal:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Note the use of "sudo" in front of the command. You will need this unless you are logged into your OS X as 'root'.
6. Enter the following command on Terminal:
sudo pppd device 115200 local persist passive maxfail 0 proxyarp macipaddr:tivoipaddr
In my case, since my computer's IP is 192.168.0.34, my device name is "tty.USA19W1b1P1.1", and the free IP address I picked is 192.168.0.60, my command looks like this:
sudo pppd /dev/tty.USA19W1b1P1.1 115200 local persist passive maxfail 0 proxyarp 192.168.0.34:192.168.0.60
The command won't appear to have done anything. It runs as a daemon, so it should be ready to go.
7. These settings will remain in effect until your reboot your machine.
