You have two PCI options Matrox Meteor for $500 and the OmniMedia Sequence-P1S for $300. The matrox driver which works with both of the above cards is part or FreeBSD-release and FreeBSD-current. As nothing being on www.freebsd.org thats my fault for being too busy lately with work. In the mean time you can check out my mbone page: http:/rah.star-gate.com/~hasty/mbone.html >>> Chris Shenton said: > I've been tracking some of the recent traffic on MBONE tool support, > and got nv to talk to my QuickCam, and I've had vat on speaking terms > with my Gus Max.

I have a heard a few multimedia hackers getting audio out of their laptops with SB clones. Hope this helps, Amancio
