I hear the problem of Meteor and Pentium Pro.
Both FreeBSD and BSDI are hung by sending Video via Meteor on
Pentium Pro. And the same problem occurs by Nv (Network Video).
I guess that it is the problem of Meteor and Pentium II, too.

I recommend the Video Capture Card which has a Bt848 chip.
It works on Linux.
