Sorry, misread the "splitter" comment earlier.  A splitter pre-USB off of the 
headset or phone-unit somewhere may work too.

We have a similar (and still non-PHP related) issue at work where we want to do 
the "call may be monitored for quality assurance" thing on the new phone system 
we just got.  Our old phone system was analog and provided for this feature.  
The new system is a Cisco IP Phone deal which is really really 
cool/nice/wicked/whatever, but doesn't allow us to do the call intercept 
in-house.

There IS something you can get for our system that taps directly into the 
server and allows call monitoring that way though.

I don't know what system you have, but if it's a 'soft phone' then I'm guessing 
there's a server involved and your system may have some allowances for call 
interception at the server level.  I guess in that case, your supervisor types 
would plug their soft phones into their own USB ports and run software that'd 
allow them to select which phone to monitor and get the data directly from the 
server.

I don't know if USB allows 'splitting' in a fashion that would be useful to 
what you're trying to do.  There may be too much two-way communication and 
you'd have two USB soft phones competing for Mom's attention at the same time.  
Not saying it's impossible, just don't know how that'd work.

If you post more info on what system you have (if you can) maybe someone knows 
some specifics for that particular system.

I generally would not do this, but I have an urgent need and this group
has seen everything; I need two USB ports on a system to have the same
channel. I continue to STFW but have not come upon something like this
yet. The application is for softphones in a call center environment, the
headsets to be used are USB headsets...having two USB ports on the same
channel would allow supervisors to plug-in and listen to a call with a
call center rep. Anyone heard of anything like this? I appreciate any
clues and nuggets.
