    Can the web cams be used with dial-up? Which ones are decent as in not $100 or more?

    Well, a webcam could be used with dialup, but it wouldn't really be a good idea. dialup doesn't have the bandwidth to really run a webcam. So if you did it, it would grind your internet to a halt and the picture everyone else sees would be REALLY jumpy. It would msot likely come out looking more like a slideshow then a video feed.

    So well it can be done, there isn't really much point since it would work so badly and make it impossible to do anything else with your net connection while the webcam is broadcasting.
