I don't actually use my Macs for any TiVo-related stuff, but you should
check out the g4Port from Griffin Technology
( http://www.griffintechnology.com/serial/g4port.html ) if you don't
actually rely on your modem. You could try a Keyspan serial adapter
otherwise, but I don't know if that would work for this purpose. You'd
probably also have to run OS X (if you're not already), but I see that pppd
is already installed so it shouldn't be too hard to get running if you get
the right DB9->Mini-DIN adapter cable.
