   I have and use a Plantronics headset.  I paid around $90 for it,
but I just noticed that a nearby Office Max is selling a similar model
for $75.  I like using it, except the received audio quality could be
better.  Sometimes it is hard to hear the other party.  No complaints
with the microphone, though.  Everyone I talk to says I sound fine.

Have fun, Dan
