- Many modems use the 2nd pair on the jack as if it was an old fashioned
- "key system" multiline phone. So what you want to avoid both having
- the phones interefere with the modem *and* the modem interfere with the
- phone is a little gizmo from Radio shack that splits the 2-line jack into
- 3 jacks. A 2-line jack, a line 1 jack, and a line 2 jack. The single
- line jacks have *only* the 2 wires required brought thru and that eliminates
- most problems.
