Hi Hans,

Thanks for the reply.  I did have trouble figuring out how to get 
webcamd started properly.  The start script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d looks 
like it needs at least two parameters, but it wasn't clear what they 
should be.  When I get a chance I'll look at that again & see if I can 
figure something out.  I'll let you know how I do.

The "Protocol not supported" problem was something else, not related to 
the tablet or webcamd.

Thanks again,

Denver
