well, that radio shack one you mention I've known a few people to have
trouble with, glad yours works, but honestly, anything under $30 or $35
people seem to have trouble with. I have one here, I forget the brand name
of it but I paid around $30 and I use it for my doubletalk LT now and then
on my computers, and a lot of other things with no problem but I know a lot
of people that got them for less that had a lot of trouble with them.
