Hello Direct's LineStein Picked as a 'Favorite Gadget' by Teleconnect Magazine

    SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- TELECONNECT, a leading
telecommunications industry publication, has chosen Hello Direct's
LineStein(TM) as one of its "editors' favorite gadgets."  LineStein, the
world's only universal, self-learning analog-to-digital adapter was introduced
in April 1998.
    The editors at TELECONNECT said, "We love LineStein, a portable analog-to-
digital phone line adapter.  It lets you connect your analog equipment (i.e,
fax, modem, teleconferencing system) to almost any digital station port -- in
the office, or on the road.  And it's a no-brainer to use:  just hit the Learn
button, and LineStein figures out all the weird protocols."
    "We are honored to have LineStein recognized by an influential magazine
such as TELECONNECT," said Alec Glover, CEO of Hello Direct.  "The market also
affirms its value, as sales have significantly exceeded forecasts this year."
    According to Glover, LineStein represents the first in a line of superior
technical product interface solutions being developed by the Company.  Hello
Direct's product development team has historically been known for its
innovative corded and wireless telephone headset designs.
