Same here in the North Woods. No cable and satellite is just too expensive.

Different question, I saw a tv ad for Emerson "Switchboard", a device where you plug in your PC, telephone and fax lines. If you are on line and get a call, you just switch over to take the call and switch back without losing the connection. Does anyone know about this or other solutions? I have a second line just for the internet and it's costly.

There are many modems that signal you and allow you take a phone call. Then resume your internet connection without interuption. Only expense is for the modem and for call-waiting. You should order the tigerdirect.com catalog.

CallWave might do what you want. I used it until I got a second phone line.
