Hi roslyn, Google, as usual, provides some pages on examples of the sort of headset you're looking for. Search for: "computer and telephone headset" and, below a lot of sponsored results, you'll get other search results of relevance to your query. My other thought was, something along the lines of Skype or a Skype handset; but I suppose the IT and security people might be anxious about rerouting calls to be on a Skype device, etc. Anyway, those are a few ideas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roslyn Allman" <roslynallman@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 3:42 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: Using phone and PC together Hi Maureen, Eleanor and Frank, Thanks for your mails regarding my query.
