Hi Dana.
You are right, he has added quite a few things to his website. It is interresting that the one set up can be used for an environmental control system, using an X--10 system I presume. I have purchased his carrier for when we go on vacation. Using it, I can be carried out into the water for swimming. My phone system uses the Sony Ericsson 600 I Walkman, a Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth, and a COBRA adapter from RadioShack. When I purchased it 15 months ago, the entire set up with a two-year contract with Cingular was $165. I have had absolutely no problems with it, and as he mentioned in his letter to you Dana, Cingular is very disability friendly. I have the free voice dial, but did not know about the free information. I will look into that. I really like my system better for just a phone, because it is very un-obtrusive. I have a telephone mounted on a flexible boom, which attaches to my chair, and a wire that connects the cobra adapter to my chin controller. The Bluetooth is then wireless of course. As he mentions in his letter, there is a bug with the Sony Ericsson 600i, which turns off the voice capabilities, if there is a message waiting. I use that bug all the time. To prevent me from making outgoing calls, when I am in a very noisy place, I just have somebody dial my number and do not answer the phone --voila, no mistaken outgoing calls. I just have somebody click the phone button when I am ready to make outgoing calls. I do not use a headrest on my chair so that flexing microphone would not work for me. Just my opinion, but I do like my system better for just the phone. I chose this Plantronics Bluetooth, because it is very unobtrusive, and it stays in my ear, even when I am outside bumping around. Have a great day.

I don't know what service is uses for sure. I thought previously it was Cingular but I have not read his sites yet as I just got, but I wanted to share with you and whoever else is interested in hands-free phones. It looks like he has some new things to offer since I last looked at his site and wrote to him and I don't know the prices yet. Dana
