I'm trying to VCon with someone on an apple-mac who uses iSight and iChat
(Sigh!!! -- looks good!) from my WinXP using AOL but no success as yet. I'm
trying to use a Pyro which is that new, firewire web camera which transmits
in a raw format over the web -- if it's on an apple.

My question is -- has anyone had success with this using a Pyro -- or should
I go with a USB camera which I think will work but where the picture quality
will be lower on a bigger screen. I've moved from cable to broaband here in
Australia because cable goes at 128 Upload which isn't a very good speed --
where some broadbands actually goes faster!! I'm hoping this will work.

Any thoughts..

Having said that, what firewall setting changes would need to be made re
opening certain ports with a pyro on an WinXP??

Thanks
