Hi everyone (serial connection)

[Jon Payne]

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd say hello seeing that I've just joined the list.
I've just ordered a internet set top box from Toys'r'us - like many others
it seems!
With suitable 'scope probing of the inards I hope to be able to get a serial
connection to the box and connect it to a PC that will provide the internet
connection.... we'll see once I get it... Otherwise I'll try using another
modem (although only 33k6 I suppose).

Another idea, if the serial connection is possible, is to use a TINI to act
as a serial->ethernet bridge.

Cheers,
Jon.
