By the way, I did purchase the TV-IP201 (non-wireless) camera and am
quite satisfied with it.  I will be ordering the TV-IP201W wireless
version shortly, and a small 2.4GHz yagi to go with it (when I find a
supplier with a good model in stock).

I'm debating whether to also get the Axis 214 PTZ camera.  I could buy
several fixed TrendNet cameras for the same price, albeit without the
zoom feature.

On another topic and FWIW, I will shortly be switching my home network
and server to go through to the LinkSys WRT54GL router now that I've got
OpenWRT properly configured on it.  I will finally be able to use the
five static IPs Verizon Business FiOS gives you, without having to buy
five separate firewall/routers.
