Managed to get some information such as:

a.) Qvision cards have 1024x768 resolution. All of the zlx series cards have
1024x1280 resolution.

b.) From lampert_at_alf.dec.com:

Zlx boards won't work Alpha 2000/300 machines coz they are PCI based
(while Alpha 2000/300's are EISA-based). One possible alternative that is
not officially supported, but may work, is an ISA/EISA MACH 64 GX card.
UNIX 3.2c supports this card on out Alphaserver 1000 and 2100 machines. I
dont see why it wouldnt work on a 2000. No guarentees, but it is worth
trying.

Andrew Brennan comments:
========================

    CUSeeMe hasn't been ported to the Unix environment. There is nv, vat,
    etc. that you often find in the sites supporting CUSM users - nv will
    run on a dUnix machine ... I'm not sure about the hardware, though.

    Not a terribly helpful response, but without the environment info it's
    not easy to fill in the blanks.
