There's something free that allows you to take calls while connected,
without an extra line: not sure how, I presume you actually talk via the
PC. You have to have (IIRR) call divert (so it's not free if that costs
anything - I don't have it so don't know), and I think it's only for
Demon customers: see the current @DEMON magazine (page 9, IIRR).

(I may miss newsgroup followups, though I try not to; I _do_ read email though.)
