I've been busy with other matters and the holidays, but hold on for a couple more weeks. HSD may sell the device which currently supports Sanyo handsets and footpedals off the shelf as well as other devices. For Wash we used Lanier handsets (that require a cable-end modification) and it worked great. If you'ld like more information, you can ask me directly (expect a 3-4 day turnaround back to you) or watch .announce for a product announcement. peter peter@tahiti.umhc.umn.edu
