Radio Shack sells a device that connects two lines to one answering
machine.  It connects its output to the last input on which ringing
was detected.  It can be used with their own or someone else's loud
bell, to do the same thing.  It costs about $20.

I use two of them, in cascade fashion, to share a Caller-ID display
unit among three incoming lines.
