That would be me, probably, Ed. I still run the webcam through my Newt:

http://128.150.4.33/screen/

However this is far from a finished product, as Jolon points out in his
readme file. Videoconferencing is impossible in its present form, although
with the source you would have a good start -- however, I think this is
really pushing even a MP2100 too hard.

And yes, running RemoteCam plus NPDS will cause frequent crashes. RemoteCam
is pretty dirty, and generates tons of BugReports (which would be a good
start for someone attempting to fiddle w/ the code).
