In fact, I know your Treo has a camera. When we moved I based my choice of internet service provider entirely on who could fix us up first. In fact I ordered cable and DSL, so I could cancel whoever dilly-dallied the longest. We thought Verizon were going to win as they came and hooked us up pretty fast, only it didn't work. Before they could fix it, the tortoise, TimeWarner, had beaten them to the post. An amazing 4 weeks to connect a wire and press ON. The reason it took so long: TimeWarner told us our address didn't exist. Verizon told us our DSL worked, even thought it didn't. I am still bitter. Those were the longest 4 weeks of my life.

It's going to take until the middle of next week before I can start unpacking my office. Patience is a virtue. I have the camera but I can’t find the lead to download anything.
