More weirdness:  When I got to my office, I ran the Ekiga configuration 
"Druid" again.  I "knew" the cam would not work, but I wanted to test 
and adjust my router configuration, I figured, what the heck, plug the 
cam in anyway . . . and it worked.  I  didn't change a thing, and Ekiga 
decided it should work after all!  (Still the 2.0.3 version)

Weird . . .
