The S100U works with iaxComm as a headset.  I use a cheap VTech 900 MHz phone
with it.

I am a fan of the DSP-100 from Plantronics (mono USB) but unfortunately I

If they have standard linux sound drivers, they can be used together with
the Asterisk CONSOLE too.

Just an to give you another choice we have started to use for windows the Telex H-841 
and the H-851 USB headsets.  They work with X-lite and the new DIAX.  Good sound and 
simple to configure!  They start at around $ 42.00. (I wish they were lower).

You need to install some softphone, you can't interface asterisk to the
headset by itself.
Try x-lite from www.xten.com for windows (or Dan the man's DIAX software -
search the archives) 
Or gnuphone for linux.

You can see them in the available sound devices list?
If yes, you can select them in the Audio configuration, inside DIAX and use

Hi Dan,
I had looked at that option but it seems that the only USB bluetooth
adapters that support the headset profile and audio gateway profile are
the very expesive ones, by the time you have got the headset and the USB
adapter it works out cheaper to buy a hard phone..
 

Take care that the specification presented on the web page is not allways
updated.
Check the latest drivers too..
For example, the MSI version is not presented as supporting Audio Gateway
profile, but it does with  the latest software.
The same with the very popular Mitsumi Dongle (just the version WIF C5xxx,
not 4xxx
If you have a 4xx one, then you can change it at Mitsunmi (DE) for free with
a new one (just a difference in fimware, but you cannot upgrade it
yourself).
   

I will take a look at the MSI adapter you spoke of and see what they are
priced like..
 

Check this one... it was less than 40 EURO including VAT
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/communication/cmu/pro_cmu_detail.php?UID=326&MODEL=
It works great.
The software is labeled MSI, but it is Widcomm based.

Have look at http://www.voipvoice.com. A UK company offering
a) USB handset with on/off hook
b) USB handset with dialing pad.
They have an API for Windows, which is needed to utilize the dialing 
pad, afaik.
