I've already built camserv (from ports) kldloaded the bktr.ko module and displayed the "test" camserv page in a webserver (something like http://localhost:9122) and I get a continuous changing of color pallete, so I'm pretty sure the software is working. I just need to know if there is any client support for USB "eggcam" devices. Any pointers to some relevant documentation appreciated, though sagefull rants also welcomed. Tim
