I called LaCie -- Tony is right: it routes incoming calls and makes sure
you don't accidentally cut off a fax/modem session if you pick up the phone
(it gives you a busy signal, apparently). May be useful, but I still think
some kind of multiplexer would be nice.... Or maybe I should get another
phone line???
