Heh..I use it to monitor my apartment when I'm at work..
I have a dedicated 28.8 SLIP to my house....I can watch my couch from work.. :P
Seriously tho, I think the security applications for CU-SeeMe are
great....you only need a couple frames a second to notice something's
amiss....

I, too, use CU-SeeMe over an ISDN line to my home... makes my network at
home look just like an extension of our office backbone. I can stick the
cam out the window and watch who comes in my driveway.
And it wasn't all that expensive either...
