Hi Dean, I can now confirm, via my husband Mike, that he's spoken to Tony Burgin at Blazie Engineering. What you need to get is the Plantronics MX10 Universal amplifier. Here's a snippit from a web site selling this item: The MX10 Universal Amplifier connects your telephone and PC or external audio device to a Plantronics® headset and provides control of the sound through your headset. The MX10 includes near-universal compatibility with single- and multi-line telephones. A Quick DisconnectT connector allows you to walk away from your desk without removing the headset or disconnecting the call. Product Features: list of 4 items Switch easily between the phone and the PC or audio device. Switch between headset and handset with a single button. Near-universal compatibility with single- and multi-line telephones. Compatible with most sound cards. list end Hope this helps. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Wilcox" <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 11:02 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Phone and computer through the same headset > If he can remember the model that would be great.
