Hi, Try something better. Use a Bluetooth Headset and an USB Bluetooth dongle with AudioGateway Profile support. Then you will have a cordless headset which can be used 10m around the PC. I have the following combination wich works very nice with my DIAX phone. - headset Plantronics M1000 - MSI 6967 Bluettth dongle(with the latest MSI drivers). When a call arrives, the ring is played through PC Speaker (you can use the soundcard for other purpose: MP3 and so on). I can click on the headset button cu connect to DIAX, then answer the phone. What I want to implement now is to put an auto mode in my application who will force connection with the headset when a new call is arrived (like it happen in a GSM bluettoth phone) and to hear the ring in the headset too. If someone can help with this, please send me a mail directly. A future DIAX version will permit to assign Voice (or even pictures) as ring, so you will be able to hear/show who's calling and answer the phone from the headset without even touching the PC. What do you think?

A UK company offering a) USB handset with on/off hook b) USB handset with dialing pad. They have an API for Windows, which is needed to utilize the dialing pad, afaik. rgds pos
I have a couple of USB handsets from Clarisys (SP-phone), but I have no idea of how to interface them...

If yes, you can select them in the Audio configuration, inside DIAX and use them. BR, Dan
> Anyone got any pointers on where to find USB handsets or headsets that > can be used as the audio device on a softphone?I am a fan of the DSP-100 from Plantronics (mono USB) but unfortunately I have been unable to get it to work nicely under Linux. Works _great_ under Win32 though; we might be standardizing on these, but I want to check out one from LabTec too that supposedly works with Linux. I'm looking for mono headsets -- the stereo ones are nice but block out too much office noise IMO. In this office that is a bad thing. :-) Regards, Andrew

They work with X-lite and the new DIAX. Good sound and simple to configure! They start at around $ 42.00. (I wish they were lower).> >I'm looking for mono headsets -- the stereo ones are nice but block out too >much office noise IMO.

Voipvoice handsets we tried - and are now sat on a shelve gathering dust. The main problem was the quality of the audio - to quiet and poor - not telephony grade for the office - perhaps good enough for home use. Just my two pennys! But still looking for a usb handset! Nick
