Back in May, Phil Pinkerton mentioned that he uses a D-Link C320 (I
think the C310 is the US version) on Feisty.

That said & apologies for adding on to Charlie's request; I'm looking
for similar suggestions. Have an elderly in-law whos nurse would like to
chat via Yahoo. I've hooked her up on Gaim, but her family in the
Philippines & son in Saudi have a webcam and would like one one this
side so they can video chat w/her.
