You have a phone plugged into the modem and you talk through it. I have a Hayes DSVD and you are supposed to be able to use the MIC and speaker jacks on it with a cheap headset, but we never got it to work very well that way. The best solution is to go to Radio Shack and buy their headset telephone($69 I think). It is a complete phone with it's own number pad, not an add-on headset. The add-ons are more cumbersome to use. The sound quality using this setup is just as good as talking on the phone. It is well worth the money if you have any left after buying the modem. By the way Best Buy and Micro Center have been selling USRobotics 33.6 DSVD modems here in Ohio for $179 if anyone is interested. Dana Bailes

Rick; Check out http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html This is the home page of a league I race in and it has a great writeup about DSVD modems. I know one thing, after reading the writeup I'm saving up for mine. Don Clawson DonC - Hawaii

You can read an article in this months SRN or you can follow the URL in my sig to an article on DSVD. The short answer is that you use the phone handset to talk. This can be a problem while you're trying to drive, so I bought myself a hands-free headset and it works great. Now all I've got to do is pry my racing buddy free from GP2 so we can race again. <g> Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html
