[asterisk-users] Y-cords - What are they ?

[bruce bruce]

Thanks for the input guys. My client is looking for Y-cords to train people.
So, set beside them take a call and let them listen on the other call. They
currently use wireless Plantronic headset with Aastra phones. Can you
suggest any specific vendors for Y-cords?

Thanks
