I've done (1) (2) AND (3), and it works (though slowly) - I'm using a
PB180c, with an internal 19.2 modem. Reception can be great if you're not
sending video, and if you're simply looking at 'Local Video' then the image
is fantastic (even better than the software included with the QuickCam,
actually). Sound is another problem, as you've probably noticed from the
previous notes, as modem connections can't provide the necessary bandwidth.
