Hi Craig:

I believe what you're thinking of is termed an "acoustic coupler".

A quick search on www.shopper.com and www.froogle.com reveals that the
predominant model is by a company called Konexx, and they retail for
around $100.

A few direct purchase links:

Finally, here's a couple of good guides to using the adapter:

Hope this helps!
