Hmm... I actually have one of those... but when my car came with built-in Bluetooth speaker phone, I haven't used it since. I'll dig it up and I'll try it out in the data center for the near-term. I'd rather a real headset that doesn't feel like it's falling out of my ear and something that other people can use too. I have had a couple pretty good suggestions off-list so far that are over the ear solutions. Keep `em coming... Mike -- ************************************************************ Michael J.
