I am also curious about why that does not work. > >> If those ear >> plugs had a longer cable, they would be perfect....Thanks. Lanny > > It used to be Radio Shack was my friend.

No Radio Shack here that I'm aware of. I will eventually find what I need, to make an extension cable. Those little ear phones are intended for use with cell phones, MP3/MP4 players, on airplanes; so the cables are very short. My daughter has one that cost twice as much and the cable on it is even shorter..... Much more comfortable than a headset with a headband..... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
