Yes, you have 2 options : - a LID, ie some device like a phone with a dialpad, that would control Ekiga. However, I have never tested the compatibility of such devices with Linux and/or Ekiga in general. However, our wiki has a link : http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Controling_Ekiga_using_an_USB_phone - there are also wireless headsets : http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Tested_hardware Our wiki is wonderful...
