"If you have a portable phone, you'll be able to walk around while online. Phone Bridge has an $89 gadget that lets you plug a regular telephone into your computer. Not only does it give you really nice sound quality and echo cancellation too, but it works really well.

Using a headset or the Phone Bridge product will keep your co-workers from hearing their voice echoed back to them (and the videoconferencing technology that is compressing your audio and video will work much better too)."

PhoneBridge is a little box that plugs into the speaker and microphone outlets on your current sound card -- it has jacks to attach speakers, a microphone and a regular telephone.

It allows your speakers and microphone to operate normally when the phone is onhook but substitutes the telephone handset mic and earpiece for the microphone and speakers when the phone is offhook.

This device provides some of the most useful features of the Quicknet cards but with greater ease ( no need to open the box) and with less cost.

The product may be purchased at the PhoneBridge site. for $89.95.

Dear Phonebridge:

This product is exactly what I have been looking for! I use it with a cordless phone and finally get some privacy on PC calls.

Thanks,

Customer Service:

I just want you to know what a pleasure it is to receive a product that performs exactly as advertised. I use my phone bridge with a plantronics headset, and it is perfect for those long PC calls.
