I do not have much experience as a developer, but if someone could r= efer me to experimental code or sources of information on this subject, I w= ould appreciate it. The ports collection of the release version does not ha= ve, for example, webcamd, though it is used by those attempting to get Ekig= a to work. Hi Robert, Did you test with new version of port? Version 3.2.6: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/ekiga3 Could you test it? --=20 Regards, Sylvio Cesar || FreeBSD Committer sylvio@FreeBSD.org || http://people.freebsd.org/~sylvio || http://www.scjamorim.org
