Thanks for the info. Please do keep me posted. When you say line level, did
you boost the mic audio to line level? It looks to me that the audio input
on the ACCY jack on the Pegasus is at the same level as the mic, not line
level. Based on one suggestion, I tried using NetMeeting for audio and
found that it wasn't good enough (even at 100 Base T speeds).
