Original Request:

> There is an adaptor cable that ships with the "Sound & Motion J300"
> (AV300-AA) which, in retrospect, should have shipped with all the DEC
> 3000 systems. It adapts an MJ connector (R6 I believe) to two 3.5mm
> jacks. The DEC 3000 series of workstations do ship with a Plantronics
> headset.

> We are sending this adaptor cable (17-03345-01) to the address on BTG's web

> I apologize for the inconvenience. Our new and future AlphaStations have
> stereo line in and out which allows you to connect any standard set of self

> Please feel free to contact me directly regarding any of your audio needs.

> Also, for your information, we ship Multimedia Services with all of our

> speech recognition products. The runtime environment is free with the

> It also support the AV300-AA and all our future audio devices (hardware
