There are headsets with two connectors; one that plugs into a telephone and
one that plugs into a computer. Blind reservation agents, tech support reps,
etc., use these all the time. The major problem, though, is that they
generally require a special telephone with a key device that will take the
phone off hook when an incoming call is received.

Hi Anne,
I just saw your post under someone else's answer and thought I'd throw in my
two cents. I use a method which is maybe the cheap way out, but works just
fine for me.
I use a phone headset all the time. Phone headsets, as you probably know,
have an ear piece on lnly one side. In conjunction with it, when I need to
hear the computer, I use a lightweight headset, and only put in on one ear,
sort of hooking the extra earpiece behind my other ear. You could do the
same thing with earbudds (putting just one bud in the spare ear). I've done
this scores of times and it works just fine. No one has ever heard the
computer or had a clue there was one chattering in the background. As I
say, it's not elegant but it works.

Yes, I would as well. We're going to a VOIP system and I'm not sure if
the phone will yack through the computer or what so any info on headsets
is appreciated.
