has anyone been able to get the 'supercam' feature of Yahoo Messenger to work with their iSight?

Are there any downsides, using the iSight/Yahoo messenger? everything works?


?

does the audio work properly?

have you tried enabling the supercam feature?



what if you have multiple computers using yahoo messeger on your local network? how would all the other computers work in that instance? [since obviously, only one computer can have port 5100 forwarded to it]
