In a recent article, Tad Cook posted a description of exclusion
modules.  These devices allow multiple phones to use the same line,
but not at the same time (i.e. when one is off-hook, the other gets an
open circuit).

What I want is the reverse (inverse?) of this. Assume that I have two
single-line phone lines coming into my house.  I want to have one
single-line phone answer calls on both lines.  When one line is in
use, the other line should be busied-out.

I do NOT want a service from the phone company that sends two lines
over one line.  I do NOT want a "ring-no-answer" on one line when the
other is in use.

(The actual problem is more involved than the above, but it can be
reduced to the above.)

Any info in this area would be appreciated.
