Hi, What usb headet works? pretty much any headset will work, provided it is a recent distro.
One thing you can check in the store: If the headset box comes with a driver disk, it won't work. The absence of a driver disk implies the headset only uses standard USB signalling.

Because skype works in the hard places. Without fuss, really easily. The hardest voip connection to setup is where both parties are behind different firewalls, and where both parties do not have the ability (or access) to add pinholes to the firewall. for protocols such as sip, h323, this is a problem - how do they set up a call? Further, while SIP is an industry standard, it is not 100.00% adherred to. There are over a dozen open source implementations of sip - all of differing quality and interoperableness. SIP has been described as the largest denial of service attack on the IETF working process - the number of RFCs dealing with SIP is simply huge. H.323 has far higher level of interoperability - the openh323 project has become the industry standard. Skype does have a significant problem for the corporate world. If the boss decides that all communications into/outof the company are monitored (which is reasonable - the boss has supplied the environment), how can the boss monitor a skype conversation? - It is quite hard to do. V hard. Derek. -- Derek Smithies Ph.D. IndraNet Technologies Ltd. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph +64 3 365 6485 Web: http://www.indranet-technologies.com/
