The camera I'm familiar with is a Connectix Color QuickCam. The associated
software I used was "CU-SeeMe" from White Pine Software, Inc.
(www.cu-seeme.com) This software also supports multicast, as you would
imagine for videoconferencing(up to 10 addresses). To use this feature you
need a TCP/IP stack that supports multicast.
The setup worked fine, pretty nice picture. Sorry I can't remember the cost,
although I don't believe it was very expensive, less than $300 for
everything..
The camera needed a parallel port and also had a connection through the
keyboard. Easy to set-up.
Windows System Reqs were the following:
486 DX/66 or higher
256-color (16-bit) video card with 640x480 or higher resolution
minimum 8 mb ram
bandwidth of 28.8kb or better
I did use a non-pentium pc for a while, and it did work. In the environment I
was in we used a 56k ISDN line, can't comment on the dial-up access.
