If you are interested in buying a matrox meteor PCI video capture board for FreeBSD . You can order one from: Computer Modules, Inc, 2350 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, Ca. 95051 (408) 496- 1881 I bought my meteor for $533 from them and that includes tax... They should have a few Meteors in stock. If you do order one please mention FreeBSD . It does help !!! Computer Modules also has a small ccd camera which they sell for $150. I got no clue as to how well it works. For a video camera , I bought a Sony Handycam video hi8 CCD-TR100 and it cost me $1000. Last but not least the Matrox Meteor will not work with the Neptune chipset you need a motherboard with a Triton chipset. My motherboard is an ASUS with a Triton chipset and a P100. The card / driver works very well and I am having a ball with audio videoconferencing 8) Oh, in video conferencing you don't have to use the silly symbol "8)" . Lights, Camera, Take one! Amancio
