Very nice.  I see you working?  How do you get the browser to refresh 
the page automatically?  What is the model of the camera you're using?

I want to use an old system (Pentium 100 or pre-Pentium) which, more 
than likely, will not have USB ports.  It might end up with a 9-pin 
monochrome monitor, 33.6kbps modem, 560MB hard drive, 4x CD-ROM drive, 
floppy drive, and a compatible Webcam.  I would like to run a version of 
Red Hat since that's what I'm familiar with.

For my experiments I'm bidding on an old "Connectix Color Parallel 
Quickcam".

The ultimate goal is to take periodic shots of the waterfront of a 
sailing club.  The PC will need to dial out on it's own, which leads me 
to another question.  Are there any free ISPs out there that would work 
with Linux?  I would think that total connect time per month would be 
pretty low.
