Dan, Sorry to say that there is no way around having three phone lines. For my house I have one line (I don't use it) and for my trading business I have three. One of the three I have forwarded to my cell phone (which has free incoming calls). That frees all three lines up for modems. Each single line costs me about $10 per (residential line) and each ISP account cost me $20 per. That is $60 more per month than I would normally have. ISDN costs $120 in my area and I would have no redundancy as well as no solution for multiple computers accessing the same connection. My understanding is that WebRamp also makes a unit for DSL lines which could serve multiple computers (LAN) as well. I certainly wouldn't say that this is the "holy grail" or the perfect solution for everyone's setup, but it is a very good solution for my needs having a multi-computer setup and a need for redundancy.
