It's only like $189.00 at Fry's Electronics here in the Bay Area. US Robotics also sells a similar pack around the same price with a BT848 card and camera (I use this at work just fine under 3.0-current) but the USR pack doesn't have a TV Tuner like tha Hauppauge does. The US Robotics package has a pretty decent camera with these buttons on it: Power on/off Contrast BLC on/off (Not sure what this is) White Balace fixed/auto IMAGE negative/positive It's a pretty solid little camera with a nice separate rubber base. FreeBSD-current recognizes the BT848 card as a Hauppauge card for some weird reason, though. It works great with vic and I've transmitted the Best Internet Fishcam to the MBone every once in a while using it ;) >Thanks.. >Mike. > >* Mike Gratton - mike@vee.net >!
