what about compuserve, the source or prodigy? personally i liked compuserve best, i was able to usee mactcp and macppp over its lines to get "real" internet long before there were any dial up isps in the area...

get a couple of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881180042
panasonic makes a bunch of them, they all do motion capture and smtp email. setup a gmail account, set the camera to email motion captured pics to the email address.
only bad thing is the smtp server portion doesn't support gmail smtp protocol, so will have to have a smtp server through your isp
I have set a bunch of these up for several friends/family, they just work...

4 of these

I concur.. http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/attire

anyone over there using attyre?

might as well say p2p is fair use, the riaa/miaa think that someone bringing over a dvd/cd to watch with you is stealing...right?

get some of these, they are the best bang for the buck. I have even wrapped elec tape around them and put them outside -lol they have 5 triggers, one can be motion detection, other a timer. set them to ftp pics to a linux server (bare bones box $200 at newegg) so 5 cams + linux box = $600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881180006 I have all the scripts to rotate pics, create mpegs of each days pics, even time stamping using imagemagik. drop me a line if intersted...
