Go down to your local Radio Shack "America's Technology Store" (Made in Taiwan). Ask for "The Teleprotector Voice and Data Guard". Part Number 43-107. Cost $7.95. Take it home and plug it in to your wall jack and plug the Answering machine into it. If you lift another phone in the house, the answering machine will be cut off. Works with phones that get taken off hook when you are using your modem. In this case, put the teleprotector on the offending phone when the modem is off hook, the phone will be dead.
