Very cool. http://tivo.lightn.org. and yes, you can set up a recording
remotely. These are the rules I use to get thru my linux 2.4 firewall:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p TCP -d [ext-ip] --dport 8080 -j
DNAT --to [int-ip] :80
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p TCP -d [ext-ip] --dport 8080 -j
ACCEPT

which says, "if a packet hits the firewall's port 8080 forward to this
host on the internal network at port 80." Of course I can't leave that
open because there's no authentication on the web-server now.

Did you try what I posted? Shocked and amazed - the netcat (nc) just
now worked for me. I don't know what the deal was before - a blocked
port maybe? It was about 3x faster than nfs or 600Kps.

no joke. My athlon dual boots and I'll let you know how it goes under
linux - Sigma Designs has linux drivers for the Netstream2000.
