I am getting another phone line installed in my house this week, and I
am looking for a device I could attach to the phone and both lines and
I can hit a button to switch between lines. Radio Shack used to sell a
device that did this. It had two inputs for the phone lines, and one
for the telephone. You would hit a button to flip from line one to
line two and vice versa. However, they don't sell it anymore. Does
anyone know if anyone still sells one of these, or if they are pretty
easy to make, how to make one??

Also, I'm looking for reccomendations on two-line cordless phones.
Most of the places around just seem to sell an AT&T and Panasonic (I
can't think of the model numbers right now). The AT&T is in the
$170-180 range and the Panasonic is in the $140-160 range. If anyone
has any experience with either of these phones, or any other two-line
cordless phones, please let me know what you think of them.

Thanks,
