  I would never have believed they existed either, but in the new DAK (c)
catalog they have a device that will either cut your phone off when another
is picked up, or will cut off all other phones when you pick yours up.
Could be useful if you're using an answering machine, or modem with call
waiting respectively - I guess.  There must therefore be some way to tell.
I would think that the line voltage would be constant though after one
phone was off-hook.  Beats me?  :-$
