Hi,

I am getting more than a little tired of my wife and child
picking up the phone in the middle of my modem connection.
It seems to me there was "some device" that could detect
the modem carrier and would disable the rest of the phone
extensions in the house while the modem was in use.  What
would such a device be called and where would I get one?
