I think you'll find that this is much like dealing with fax. Painfull
and prone to failure. Since Tivo can be a network aware device that's
the more reliable route.
FWIW, many series 1 Tivo units blew up their on-boards modems. This is
one of the reasons that the TivoNet card to be made. Once the modem was
dead you could add a net card or pay Tivo to exchange yours for a
remanufactured unit. There is also a wireless TivoNet card which saves
you running Cat 5 into your TV room if that's a benefit.
