Hi Robert,

The webpage itself is hosted by Omnis Hosting. The cabozola applet on
their server pulls the image from my machine which is running the motion
program. Port 8090 seemed to be a decent choice for this project. I
really appreciate all the fine members trying to reach the site. I will
get the spouse to tell her family about it to see if they can access it
okay. This going live has been a very long time coming.

Thanks again to all,

Jim Seymour
