Logitech Quickcam Express (The USB model). The driver I use is at:

(Used on version 8.0 of the "name-forbidden-to-use-distro" :-)

Not that I know of. Talk all your Windows friends to use NetMeeting which
interoperates with GnomeMeeting. You can hint them that NetMeeting
(just like GnomeMeeting) has more control than MSN on the picure size
and position (e.g: your image as a separate window -- I think they added
that only in the latest MSN release).

On the same thread. Anybody used NetMeeting and/or GnomeMeeting
over NAT? I'm trying to avoid running some proxy on the firewall/NAT
machine itself. Last time I tested (very short test), it negotiated the
session with the other side (I could see the address/name of the
NetMeeting partner, and they could see my address), but no video
data was passed. Any hint from someone who actually use this
would be helpfull.

Thanks,
