So in other words numbering the elements with 1 being the tip it would be:
1. Mike
2. Earpiece
3. Gnd

Also, can I have skype on 2 different PCs that are on the same LAN 
utilizing the same account/phone #? In that case would it ring on both 
PCs and could the call be answered on either one? Are you able to FAX 
through Skype? These are questions that I just can't seem to find 
answers for at the site or other places, so I apologise for doing so 
here, but *I *do use Linux, even though my wife doesn't. Although she is 
now willing to try Ubuntu on her personal PC, now if I could get Georgia 
DHR to convert, I'd be really happy.
