I just bought a hardware device (MacVision) that needs to plug into my
modem port. Problem is, I usually have a modem plugged in there. I *hate*
fiddling with cables into the back of my Mac, which sits snugly in a
compartment of a desk and is bound by all the other stuff going into it
which makes it tough to move.

So rather than unplugging and plugging in the modem and MacVision every
time I want to use one or the other, I'd like to be able to switch between
the two externally. If I must, I will make the switch myself, but first
I thought I'd ask if there was some such device already on the market
to save me the work (and which would probably be slightly more elegant! ;-)

Please E-mail; I will post a summary if there is enough interest.

Thanks, Tom A.
