I have a nice Logitech USB headset that I use for Skype.
Does there exist an adapter that would allow this headset to be used
with a regular land-line phone? (It has a standard jack.)
I'd like to not have to have two separate headsets.

The problem is the phone line is analog and USB is digital.
Yep, I know... I designed the original USB port driver and receiver
chips... see my patent list.
Could be
done, of course, but I'm not aware of anyone who makes it.

Yet I find it odd that a headset (mike + earphones), so cheap,
actually digitizes the audio to run thru a USB port.
Sounds hokey to me. I suspect that USB ports may actually now be
configurable as "pass-throughs".
I note there are really cheap 2.5mm-to-USB adapters. Maybe the way to
go is to get an "analog" headset plus adapter ?:-)
