If I buy the Target or Wal-Mart WinXP cheap ($10 to $15) webcam, will it
run on FC5? Is this one of those, better check for driver software,

Any help appreciated.

Random Thought:
We only support a 1200 bps connection.
Excellent tip. I have usb port on my computer, but my daughter's
computer is older, and doesn't. Her family is about to shop for a
laptop, so I'll make sure she considers making sure she can hook up a
usb webcam to it. I guess it looks like I'd better plan on spending
upwards of $30 for a linux compatible webcam.
Thanks, again
Tom
