All hayes modems which have jacks two jacks (one for the modem to the
telco line, and one for a voice telephone) disconnect the voice line
when the modem is online.  

Obviously, those which do not have a voice line cannot disconnect it.

No claim was ever made that any modem by any manufacturer would 
disconnect phones which are not plugged directly into the modem 
or into a line which is plugged into the modem.
