Gee, here in Massachusetts, I'm only paying $5.  To split out the three
phone numbers, I have an Autoline Plus from ITS of Endicott NY, phone
607 754 6310, which cost $82.79 plus $1.78 shipping.  It has a short cord
with an RJ-11 plug that plugs into the phone line, and three RJ-11 sockets
for the three devices.  I use it to split out voice (phone and answering
machine,) modem, and fax.  It works like a charm.

It also handles contention on outgoing calls.  If the line is in use by
one device, the others are shut off until the first one is done.
