- I actually do spend quite a bit of time on the phone, and thought
- of this problem as well. What I did was connect a stereo jack to the
- phone (now implanted into the hand-set part of the phone). THe
- connections are quite simple... and all I did then was take a stereo
- ear-phone set and disconnect one of the earphones, and connect an
- electret condensor to it. The thing resembles a telephone headset, and
- is completely hands free...
-
- just a suggestion.
