That's interesting to know - which version? The IC-1000 and 1500 are both reported on the zm forums as needing additional scripts to convert the non-standard mjpeg stream, but if any http/ftp/filesystem/dev source can supply a normal jpg then it'll work. I've even used a windows computer running a local webcam as a feed - just use some software to save a jpg to its own filesystem and grab it via samba. :) -- Simon Avery -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
