Thanks, everyone for the replies! Sorry for the late follow up.

Is it possible that there is a push button cord that plugs into the speakerphone jack that let's you answer the call and then you can lift the receiver and take the call? Just thinking out loud?

I simply want to be able to answer a call - say with a push button something or other that I can keep by my keyboard.

I do not work in a call center and I am not trying to "get the jump" on anyone. Not to be rude, and not that it has any bearing at all in regards to my original question, I am self-employed, have a mild disability, and for reasons I'd like to keep to myself, I'll conclude the "why" details. (I feel like this is the beginning of a flaming thread in the comment section of a controversial opinion story...lol). Again, I'm not trying to be rude or inflammatory, I am just curious if there is hardware (other than a headset) that will help me achieve my objective. If not, then my question is answered - but if there is, I'd love to hear thoughts.

Thanks again! I really do appreciate it.
