If all else fails, there are Bluetooth devices which act as a headset to a cellular phone, providing analogue audio output (balanced and unbalanced) which you can feed to the computer, either directly, or through a USB interface box; see jkaudio.com. Of course, the computer can record the conference, Audacity being a dead-simple approach. Needs such as this are a strong impetus to keep an W7Pro machine under the desk or in a closet (then you can enjoy Webex). Life is short; get the job done, whatever it takes. RLH

Although, again, Webex's web interface works great in Firefox on Stable. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
