The only problem I can see with this is Bleed-through. A friend of mine
has his voice line and his data line on the same cable, in order to use
all 4 wires , and when someone is
on the BBS you can hear it. Seriously. I'll be talking to him and the
next thing I know I hear the modem on the other line handshaking. ;)
