In reply to the message about 'two phone lines', I have an a cheaper
idea that would work. NJ Bell and other Baby Bell companies usually
offer a service called a 'teen line', that can be put on a subcriber's
line, for a family member or 'teen'.
 
When I first got my modem, I had my own 'teen' line and had higher
phone bills then my parents ever did, anyhow. If you need a second
cheaper line that is automatically unlisted, get a teen line. Use the
teen line for your 'voice' number and your 'orignal line' as your data
line. That way you can get unlisted service free of charge. Another
recommendation would to subscribe to PC-Pursuit or if you like faster
communications, use Reach Out America. The first hour is $8.70 (gone
in one day), and additional hours are $6.60 which is an great rate;
(about 11 cents) a minute after 10pm.
