Thanks Gavin and Mark, point taken. And the next question is: Does anyone know of a USB modem with speakerphone function that is also BABT approved?
Working at from the other end there seem to be two relevant pieces of software: Smith Micro's Message Center Pro and Bing Software's Megaphone. According to their software list of modems that work is a US Robotics 56K Faxmodem Pro USB. Any idea where I might find out if this is BABT approved? Likely UK distributor/stockists?
