<div>Hi Willian,</div><div><br></div><div>I don't think you should be worried about this. Almost 100% os the webcams will work on Linux. The new kernel versions are suporting almost 100% of the cams.</div><div><br></div>
<div>If you use kernel >=2.6.29, u probably won't have problems to make it work.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers</div><br clear="all">---<br>- °v° Marcelo Cavalcante Rocha / Kalib<br>- /(_)\ ITIL V3 Foundation Certified<br>

<br>
</div>I agree. I've never used Skype.<br>
<br>
I have used Ekiga. It isn't perfect but it's OK.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the ITSP world doesn't seem to support encryption. In<br>
theory, end-to-end encryption of SIP should be possible (SRTP) but<br>
most sip calls are terminated at an ITSP and then go on what appears<br>
to be (but generally isn't completely) the PSTN, in the clear.<br>
<br>
Dedicated SIP ATAs like the Linksys PAP do not support encryption.<br>
That is probably true of most dedicated SIP phones and the like.<br>
<br>
We could use IPsec from our gateway to our ITSP except that I don't<br>
know any ITSP that supports IPsec. Michael Richardson offered to help<br>
Unlimitel offer this service but it didn't happen.<br>
<br>
Skype does support encryption, but of course we don't know how good it<br>
is and how many parties there are in a conversation.<br>
