But you could get a quality analog headset for $30, see:

That's about 80 headsets, if you don't mind analog.  And it is OS neutral.

PS - I have a Clarisys handset that is collecting dust - I wasn't too happy 
with it.  No only did I have to give up one of my typing hands to hold it, 
but it required too much tinkering, downloading new drivers, and 
reinstalling the software if I had to disconnect it or tried it with 
different telephony software.
