For videoconferencing software, I recommend the OpenH323 project www.openh323.org There is both source and binaryies available for linux and you can Video Conference with other programs using the H323 protocol including Microsoft NetMeeting on Windows PCs. You could also use Vic and Vat to videoconference. If you want to use an orginary video camera you need a video capture card or TV Tuner card using the bt848, bt849 or bt878 chipset. eg the Hauppauge WinTV cards. (not the digital TV or USB models) You can then attach a normal PAL or NTSC camera. and you use the bttv driver. Roger
