Does anyone have any feedback on a handset or headset that has had success with Skype on more than just Windows (either Mac or Linux)? Here are the two I am trying to decide between...

I'd like to use a USB handset interchangeably between the two machines. USR has one that I was looking at but [of course] it only plays nice with Windows. Thanks, in advance.
I was going to stay out of this thread and jsut follow it, but seeing how nobody answered, have you contacted the companies that manufacure the headsets that you're looking at? Even if they don't have information on linux compatbility, the very fact that you write to them will alert them to the fact that they cannot afford to ignore linux users. If you have written to them, what were their responses? Dotan Cohen http://ie-only.com
