With the 3com homeconnect driver I've written I have a user reporting that he 
is using 8 cameras simultaneously.  Of course he is only grabbing one image 
from each every few seconds.  He has recently switched over to using camserv 
(http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cserv) which allows an automated script 
to pick up single frames and archive them but someone with a web browser 
can get a streaming feed.  (it's being used for a NOC security system 
apparently)

So, yeah.  Works fine.  As others have said though it's fairly difficult to 
stream from two cameras simultaneously because image acquisition takes up too 
much of USB's bandwidth.
