========================================================
From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

The key is finding a D-Link that works with the Tivo.  Their list is somewhat
limited as to compatibility.  We got the TIVO 1 that was on sale thru Target,
after the first of the year.  $149.00, with a $150.00 rebate. Just got the
rebate.

I tried one or two other adapters, neither worked at all. I am thinking of
getting a compatible USB to wire ethernet adapter and just running a wire to
it.  Already have a hole thru the wall to get the cable TV into the room where
the cable modem and router are.  Trying to keep the techno-clutter down in the
apartment.

Also, the Vonage phone seems to work really well.  Does get a slight bit
"gurrgly" when Andrew is on Xbox live though...
