Do you know if it's possible to insert a live webcam, or even a slow-scan
update of one, using front page? Do I need a special hosting package?
 
WebCams are composed of two pieces:

1) A program to continuously FTP the captured image to your web site.

2) A way of causing the image on your web page to refresh when the
image is updated.

To refresh the image you could use a META REFRESH tag. To do that you insert
the following code into your HTML in Code View.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="30">
This line must be put between <head> and </head>


Also, you need <IMG SRC="mypic.jpg">
where mypic is the name of the file that you continuously upload.

As far as using it in FP just create a subweb (not to be opened in FP) that
you can FTP connect to w/ your webcam (or video cam)


You also might want to look at webcam feed assist software like at
