Hi Roy

In answer to question 2 I use MS Encoder 7. It is a free download from =
you know who. It will allow you to see live video at around 15 to 20 FPS =
with audio. Not only can you see what is happening you can here the =
computer voice telling the house what you would here when you were home. =
The only thing I would say is you want at least a PIII to do this, it is =
MPU hungry.

If you want to see it in action go to=20

www.galeforce9.btinternet.co.uk

and select webcam from the menu on the left. It may be better if you =
wait until it is dark as the light you can switch on / off is a 500w =
flood light in the eves. When it is dark the camera will be in darkness =
but switch the light on and you will see my drive come into view (And =
hopefully two cars, if not call the police !). You will also here the =
computer tell the house that the internet light was turned on etc. I =
live in the UK so don't forget the time difference. If it is after =
11.00pm BST the voice will be muted, I will be trying to sleep !

  Subject: [misterhouse-users] Receives but doesn't send mail?


  Two (probably easy) questions:

  1. I'm able to receive, but not send, email via misterhouse, no matter =
which account I use. In MS-DOS, I see the following:

  Running: get_email -quiet
  Checking email accounts: account_1 roy_at_home

  Done running: get_email
  Sending mail with account_1, from Misterhouse to rp...@ya...
  Logging into mail server smtp.ne.mediaone.net to send msg to =
rp...@ya...
  Message sent
  =20

  But... e-mail never arrives. I'm using MH 2.56 (had the forking =
problem with 2.55), though I had the same e-mail problem with prior =
versions too. If it matters, I'm running Win98 and sharing a cable modem =
via a router (the problem occurs with a direct connection, too). Anyone =
have any ideas?

  2. (extra credit?) - anyone know the simplest way to put a simple =
(private) webcam (a Kensington videocam) on my MH web page, so I can =
peek at the house as I turn things on/off remotely?

  Thanks - Roy
