Hi
I'm disabled and have trouble using my hands.
Clicking on my cordless landline handset is difficult.
Running MJ on an iMac. Got a set of USB headphones:
Here are my questions:
1-Can't seem to get headphones to work... Can someone help me set the settings on MJ and iMac so headphones would work?
2-If headphones would work, could I answer and make calls through the MJ softphone, without hitting the flash button on my landline handset?
3-Would headphones with a RJ11 adapter that could plug directly into the MJ work? Hence getting rid of my handset?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx
Ted
MJ Headset Problem ?

I'm not familiar with Mac or USB headphones. But, in the "menu" option there is an option to switch between headphones and a handset. Also an option to adjust the volume (mic, speaker). You'd want to check that too.
I think it could be easier to use than a handset because you can click "big" to make the softphone bigger. That might be easier to work with.

DoctortedNYC,
I am not sure you got all of your questions answered, you didn't say.
But I never have one to leave well enough alone. !!!
Any computer headset/microphone designed to work with messenger or any of the Gazillion voice chat programs will work with MJ. Then just follow "AZ's" instructions and you will be good to go.
Places like Wal-mart, Best Buy, Staples... etc. carry the computer headset & microphone units. Then just plug them into your mic & speaker out ports. Radio shack and several others sell a switch so you can select your headset or switch back to your speakers. Comes in pretty handy, that way anytime you need your speakers back you just have to press a switch sitting on your desk (or wherever).
As for a headset that plugs into the RJ-11 there is none that I know of. There are plenty that plug into the jack on your phone that would normally connect to a wired telephone handset (i.e. the gadgets telephone receptionist wear) but you can't plug those into the MJ RJ-11 on your MJ and not just because it is a different size. the signal at the output of the MJ is a completely different signal than the one a telephone Hand-set or a computer Headset/Microphone unit is expecting.
