Well, that wasn't what I wanted, but it led me to the acronym I needed to
know: NVS, and thank you *very* much for leading me to that. Dunno if we
want to spend 2x$600 from newegg for something with four definitely
overkill cameras (we're just surveilling our "computer labs" (these aren't
data centers, no, really, honest (that's if you've read recently that the
gov't has suddenly started designating every server closet as a
"datacenter")), but at that price, it *does* support firefox, and ftp....
so we're getting a lot closer.
