It was older, because there wasn't any proprietary connections. The two eight inch female jacks for a headset, a cable that went to the mike and headphone jacks on the computer and two RJ11 jacks. One to connect to the phone and one to connect the telephone handset.
There was a three position switch, handset, headset and off. The other switch was mute on/off. There was a volume control and another multiple position switch whose function escapes me now.

Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Good solutions for splitting aheadset between phone and computer?
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.

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.
