Does anybody have any experience of doing this? Has anybody managed to get either Linux or FreeBSD to receive multicasts? Does anybody have any experience of fitting a video frame grabber such as a Video Blaster in an IBM style PC and getting it to work with either Linux or FreeBSD? Hope somebody can help. Thanks Marcus
