Batch Script to Modify Terminal Settings

[rbautch]

As jjz first discovered here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=3091603&highlight=unset#post3091603), the default Windows terminal settings can sometimes cause interactive scripts like tweak.sh not to run properly. Attached is a batch script to modify telnet settings on Windows PC's to fix that problem. The script is based on kewashi's observations here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=4344888&&#post4344888), and it modifies your registry values for CRLF, TermType, and BSASDEL. To run it, just copy it to your PC and double-click on it. I'm going to imbed this into the Zipper batch file, so we never see these CRLF problems again. If you telnet to your Tivo frequently, I suggest ditching the Windows terminal altogether, and using a free terminal emulator like Tera Term (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html).

Very cool!!! Thanks for implementing my concepts in an easy to use script. It feels good to have made a small contribution to the zipper...

Have a bit of a problem as I could not find the info I needed so I used the bat file and now I cannot telnet into my tivo.

It seems windows has taken over my telent service and when I log it I only get the directory where I am at. I did see microsoft telent but it said to hit any key and when I do I am at my directory.

Any way to undo the bat as I found the info for telnet I need to (telnet, unset crlf, o IP.

Anyhow my putty closes on me as soon as it opens so I have no way to telnet into my tivo since I used the bat.

Its my screwup.

Thanks.
