I need some serious help here.
I have to record some training calls that take place on the telephone.
I know I need an interface to do this, and these are the ones I'm looking into:

I had a little cheapo unit that I got from Rat Shack that didn't work worth a damn - too noisey!
So, if any of those units look reasonable, or you like one in particular, let me have your input please!
OK. That's one obsticle.
The next one is putting these calls up on the web so that people who can't make it to the training call can still hear what's happening. These training calls can be as long as an hour. Obviously, I can edit that for the more salient points, and maybe get the recording down to a half an hour.
But 3 minutes, even at a bit rate of 22,000 and 16 bit is going to be something like 5 meg! So a 30 minute recording is going to be in the neighborhood of 50M! I wouldn't even know how to go about hosting a file of that size.
Any ideas on how to over come this. Obviously, I can reduce the resolution and bit rate, but I think it'd still be somewhere in the double digit meg size.
