its an external speaker that plugs into the usb port for power, has a 12v dc
adapter that plugs into the wall, two 3.5mm plugs that gets plugged into the
sound card (mic and speaker) plus a plug that gets put into the handset plug
on a phone, and the handset plug gets plugged into a wire that leads to the
speaker.
there is also supposed to be a plug that gets plugged into an lcd monitor, tho
where that particular wire gets plugged in, gok, as there is no other ports
open on the speaker box. i kinda got it working on my 98 based laptop. volume
up as far as it will go, but with the phone handle off the hook, dont get
much volume from the speaker.
with what little experimentation i have done on this device, its seems like a
good idea gone bad. hp/compaq doesn't seem to realize that this device even
exists. will just have to try it out and see what happens.
it seems to me that it is all hardware driven. the usb-port passthrough works
ok. (least on the laptop).
will get off my butt and move the linux box around and see what happens. will
keep ya posted on progress.
thanks
