As it turned out, the Logitech USB headset I had didn't work well, but
amazingly enough the Microsoft USB headset that my wife had worked
flawlessly -- and I have the option of running the sound out to the
speakers. So the only downside would have been that my colleague could
have heard the call, but wouldn't have been able to speak.

Thanks for the alternatives -- it's always good to hear options, but
it's not usually pleasant to hear that the service mentioned 'sucks'.
Like they say in Texas, be sure your words are soft and sweet, in case
you are forced to eat them.
