Roy Smith mentioned the difficulty encountered while talking on the
phone in a computer room; fan noise is picked up an amplified by the
handset microphone.

One solution might be to try one of those "special" handset microphone
adapters which limit the noise that the mike picks up.  Hello Direct
probably sells these beasties.
