Kevin,

just a suggestion on SR...

Before buying or setting up any
intercoms or mixers etc. get one
good mic plugged directly into the
sound card and have you and your family
check out it's "best case" recognition
first. If you're happy with that
you'll know at least you have a chance
at getting remote inputs to work.

Carl
