Dreambox Screenshots via Telnet

Start the telnet by clicking on "start", then "run" and type in "command" (98SE).
When the DOS-prompt appears type telnet 192.168.0.5 or whatever your dreambox IP is and now you can send direct commands to the dreambox.

Example: cat /dev/grabber > tmp/screenshot.bmp

This will execute the "grabber" in the dev directory and put out the result in the tmp-directory of your dreambox. This helps if the grabpic tool in the web interface doesn't work.
