[DC LoCo] Not a linux question, at least not directly...

Dear Kevin,

I have been down this road before.

What you will need to do is to install Internet Explorer on the Linux 
system, since the video system uses an Active X plug in (yes, my son, be 
afraid, be very afraid...)

If you have the intestinal fortitude, the way out is:

After you successfully complete this installation, you will need to adjust 
Micro$oft Internet Explorer to accept Active X.  I will try to find you a 
step-by-step for this phase.

Once you have completed this task, you need to take the special soap out 
of the special box, and wash your hands over and over...

Regards,

Flint
