"My old  3com camera was working after recompiling the kernel, using
cross compilation on my Slackware 10.0 computer."
             Daniel Perron

Just curious about the specs on that camera. I assume they don't make
it perhaps if it is as old as you make it sound. I did the standard
google search and through the 3com website for the cam.

If not, you think there's a realistic possiblity that changes can be
made to that makefile for another webcame?
