[Sheflug] intro +digi camera

[James Bruce <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

hi everyone, to those who dont know me
[which will be everyone i guess, heh]

little introduction i believe is in order,  so uh yeh. my names james... 
student at sheffield university doing computer science, so i figured it was 
about time to switch to linux and i must admit im impressed (even though it 
has taken me 5 reinstalls of suse to finally get everything working)... and 
ill start coming to meetings soon as im back in sheffield in august (though i 
doubt ill bring my computer as im one of those lazy-ass students who cant 
drive and therefore isnt very mobile...)

so yeh. hi.

anyhew, i gots a question. basically i have this digital camera, which was so 
cheap and pathetic the resoltion is about 100*100 and it only holds 6 shots 
(it was a joke christmas present from someone) !!! connects through the 
serial port.. its branded as WWF one but ive seen other sorts around.... i 
used to use photoslam to connect to the camera and import it, though 
apparently it was compatible with twain for otherprograms, i could never get 
it working like that. anyhew, how can i get it working under linux? i cant 
really determine what sort of camera it is because the only brand on it is 
WWF, but can i plug into my serial port, send some random messages to it and 
see what happens? or does anyone know a more stnadard way of doing this?

cheers 

james
