Hmm... I actually have one of those... but when my car came with
built-in Bluetooth speaker phone, I haven't used it since. I'll dig it
up and I'll try it out in the data center for the near-term. I'd rather
a real headset that doesn't feel like it's falling out of my ear and
something that other people can use too. I have had a couple pretty good
suggestions off-list  so far that are over the ear solutions. Keep `em
coming...
