------------------
We have been buying Labtec C-324's for use with PC's. (Also, see message
#3767.8 in the LLTI archives for more detailed info on this, including use
of these headsets with Macs.) 

http://www.labtec.com/product/pc_voice_access/

However, we've only been using them in our multimedia development lab, not
in high-traffic, high-abuse-prone areas yet (that's planned for this year).
Therefore, I don't know how well they will stand up to heavy use--there may
be more industrial-strength stuff out there that's more appropriate.
However, they are relatively inexpensive, so I'm also considering the idea
of just having lots of extras around, which may or may not be cheaper than
more expensive, more durable headsets.

Good luck,
Brad
