I haven't tried that software, but I'd like to hear more about the mic. I found that when I used a standard mic that it wouldn't have enough gain for regular phone calls. I got a headset that has the mic built on to it, so that the mic dangles about 1cm away from my face. This works quite well (except that I can't get the CD sound through the headphones {g}). /Paul
