Thanks for the link! I've been wondering about webcams as well. For the original message poster: Depending on what you want to do, you can use a digital camera with an AV out port and a TV tuner card to show the image in fxtv and gnome-meeting. I wouldn't know how to stream the image to a web page; but gnome-meeting accepted the TV tuner card as an image source device. Also, if you just want to monitor the room remotely, you could forward fxtv and X over ssh. (Caveat: I haven't messed with this in a long time; so YMMV with newer versions of drivers and ports.) Good luck; and have fun!
