Or phones that work with Centos. I am making headway on my SIP testing, but I need a a couple (or 3) USB headphones or phones. I remember back quite at time ago I had problems with one with volume control (ie none!). So I am looking for a cheap USB headphone or 'real' VoIP phone. I am using SIP Communicator as my client.

The good news is that you can take the money you save and buy a good 1/8" headset that does have one. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet at gmail.com> PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
