You could use a basic 486 computer running cu-seeme, or a more costly
option, but smaller, would be a Microplex Neteye, which connects to a
Quickcam, with a network (UTP) output into a smaller router, which you
could dial into.

I would suggest an old 486 notebook with a modem, cost about $400-500.
