I'm also a full-time telecommuter, and still using the Plantronics M10-H61N I bought with my own money in AD 1990. At one point recently the foam earpieces more or less disintegrated, and Plantronics sent me new ones, gratis. I figure I've got another 10 years to go, at least. Not wireless, though. Wire is your friend. In a data center I'd want full covers a la aviation (Telex?), but I'd be willing to spend more than $100 to get them. And not everything with the Plantronics brand on it is of the same quality, any more. Caveat emptor. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
