[AG-TECH] AG2.0 RAT issues (and cheap sound ...)

[Randy Groves]

Looks interesting, but I fear that the problem with this unit is that there 
is no way for the AG to insinuate itself into the stream between the 
outgoing microphone and the incoming signal.  That's the beauty of the 
Polycomm interconnect box, but the implementation, with the switch between 
telephone and 'AG' operation, is a bit clumsy.  Do-able, but not sexy 
enough for executives.
