I found this Back to My Mac router compatibility list on Apple's website. I can't say it's a definitive list, but apparently it's a list that Apple promotes compatibility for.

First you have to find your headset, untangle the wires, plug it into the correct port and then figure out how to make the thing work. For me, it's always been a hassle to even leave Skype running, in fear that someone would actually try to call me on it and I wouldn't have my headset configured. Not any more.

I've been wireless for the last few weeks and I am loving it. The Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless headset has simplified the complexity of using VOIP applications for me. READ MORE »
