For this you probly dont even need captcha. Just put an extra field on
your guestbook submit that says 'Prove you're not a spam-bot, type the
word human in this box'. Then on the script that processes the entry,
check to see that they have done so.

Funny, I've had a guestbook on one of my sites, with no protection from
spam, for a year now, and never had one spambot. <shrug>
