Hey guys,
I'm planning to get a USB headset (headphones with built in microphone) in the near future and I want to know if it's possible to use a USB headset - in conjunction with the FreePhoneLine service? Are there any drawbacks when using a USB headset?
I also wanted to know which particular USB headset works perfectly. Currently, I'm stuck with my trusty 'ol microphone and speakers (both are connected separately).
Any suggestions?

Re: USB headset with the FPL service - advice/suggestions?
There was a bit of discussion about this, and some problems with Windows default devices.
One thing I have done with very good success is to just take the wired headphone from my older cell phone that has the mic in the little "collar-clippy-on-deal" along with the "select next tune" feature when playing MP3 files, and used that in the mic port of my confuser -- note, some PC's will like it in the ext speaker connector instead -- you may have to experiment whether your caller can hear you --- but it is 50/50 --- only two options!
