[G4] Telephony headsets

[david]

Hi again,

Thank you for the advice. I thought that might be the case. I did, of course, 
look at Skype and I will look at Vonage. What made me reject Skype initially 
is the fact that -- crucial missing information here, Do'h -- I am still 
using System 9.2.2. As this is possibly the most relevant piece of 
information relating to my query, it was dim of me to have omitted it. Any 
more suggestions (other than shut up and go away) gratefully received.

I would still be grateful for confirmation regarding headset plugs and for 
any other advice.

Thank you for reading this.

David
