But does the use of the voice phone affect the modem connection?
In my case... I hope that since both lines will be for data-only, then there 
shouldn't be too much of a problem (?)
Someone else just mentioned that in a multi-line situation where lots of 
(cheap) extension chords are used (the wires in the chords are not twisted) 
then there could very well be a problem.  Good point.  I was planning on 
"moving/extending" my current two data lines to the other side of my office.  
That would mean about 20 feet of (cheap) extension cabling.  :(
