 Due to complaints from roommates, I will finally be activating a
second phone line to use my modem on. However, I will be using the
existing 4-wire lines already built-in to the place, not able to add
twisted-pair as is often recommended to avoid cross-talk with the
voice line. Is there anything else I can do - some kind of external
at the connector or something - to minimze this.

 I would rather not have to replace the modem, but in a pinch if it
becomes a real problem, what would be necessary ? MNP I presume.

 Is this likely to *really* be a significant problem or is it
mostly theoretical and sporadic ?
