Can a QuickCam ( parallel port ) be configured on Linux ?

If so can anyone step me through the process?

Is there software out there I can use on Linux?

I need to video conference from my linux system to a windows system. Anyone tried this with success?

I have an older Quickcam connected to my system (parallel port) it worked on windows but can't seem to get ti to function on Linux.

My system info is :

uname -r
