Now if you want a VOIP videophone for £200 (that's a phone with a £10 webcamera in it)... just put it on the monitor above to the built in webcamera... I get the feel that a lot of VOIP hardware is just leftover thinking. The computer CAN do it all. Tom te tom te tom * by audiowise I mean how they sound to record or listen. A headset is generally in a working position and handset is often not - especially when your taking notes with it jambed between ear and shoulder while you build up neck stress for another call to claimsdirect for injuries at work.
