RE: Multi port CCTV capture cards - Geovision, Avermedia etc

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Getting the mobile phone support working in ZM would be nice :) The ISO
would also be massively beneficial to non-Linux people - took me quite a
few days to get my head around Linux. The other main features I wanted were
dedicated multi port H/W (the Geovision card that's arriving tomorrow has 8
inputs). The slick user interfaces (more rounded graphical approach) were
also nice - I could design something myself for ZM of course, but I never
got the time :(

I'll still be following your development of ZM keenly though :)

Paul.
