Wow! If the one I heard of was the one you tried, I'm surprised that for
$300, they couldn't have solved that problem. One would hate to get calls
from customers and have them hearing what I'm doing.

I don't remember which Plantronics system I tried, but the issue was that
the sound from my PC was heard by everyone on the phone. This wasn't
practical since much of my work has me on several teleconferences.

The only thing I've ever found on some of the various lists is the
Plantronics SMH1783-11. It has a 3.5mm plug on one side for the computer,
and the other ends in their proprietary quick disconnect plug that goes into
an amplifier of some sort that then plugs into the phone. The thing costs
around $300 and is a special order item, and so Plantronics told me, but
headsets.com claims to have it in stock. I asked Plantronics about this
thing as I have been thinking of getting into various kinds of phone work,
and the guy said it only works with certain phones. If all Cisco phones use
the same connector, things might be OK, otherwise one has to hope that
whatever electrically fits that might be a few models off will work.

Hi everyone,
Perhaps a little OT, but I thought this would be a good place to ask
the question anyway.
At work I have been having some issues with our phone system, because
we had phones with soft keys.
I have been using an accessible SoftPhone running on Windows, but as a
Mac is my main machine, I was using a KVM to go between them.
I have some how hosed 3 or 4 KVMS in about a year. Also, the time it
was taking for the USB devices to connect, was meaning I wasn't always
able to get to the phone in time, or as quickly as I wanted.
A possible short to medium term solution, is to get a Cisco phone with
fixed buttons, so that I can do call hold, mute, transfer etc, but I
don't want to have to where two headsets crossed over on top of my
head, if I can help it.
I have had really bad experiences with a Hagger splitter box in the
past, and not sure if this would work with Voip Phones anyway.
Any suggestions for boxes or leads, so that I can use one headset for
computer speech and phone?
Cheers,
Jen.
