- I've used a Plantronics "speakerphone" which is a normal speakerphone
- except for the fact that the microphone is located in a box the size
- of a small IR remote control which is supposed to be placed on the
- person, such as in a shirt pocket. This "remote" transmits IR to the
- base.
-
- It works well and has much less room echo than regular (consumer)
- speakerphones. It was called something like a PhoneBeam. I don't
- know if they still produce them.
