A telephone headset apparatus and a method of use of said apparatus in conjunction with a computer modem. The telephone headset is coupled to the same telephone service line as the modem, and is equipped with level detection circuitry for disabling the telephone headset when the modem is activated, so that voice communication does not interfere with operation of the modem. Telephone calls are initiated in a conventional manner using the modem's dialing hardware and software. After the dialing sequence is executed by the modem, the user switches the modem off, the telephone circuit being held open by the telephone headset. The user may alternate between voice communication and data communication without the necessity of re-dialing the receiving party. <IMAGE> |
