I received a new telephone device today.  It it passive, has a modular
plug and jack and connects between the line and a telephone (or any
device which plugs into a telephone line).  When any other phone on the
line is taken off-hook, the device disconnects the telephone which is
plugged into it.  So, if, for example, an answering machine, connected
through this device, is answering the telephone, and an extension is
picked up, then the answering machine will be disconnected -- a most
useful feature.  It can also be used with speakers, monitors, etc.

It seems to be a well-made, reliable device.

It is caled   Fonealone   and is made by
