- Don't bother....these are called automatic exclusion devices, and
- Proctor & Associates is the longtime patent holder on this.

- Proctor has several different models, including ones that install at
- each phone to prevent that phone from going on line when the
- line is in use by any other device, or a group exclusion module where
- it divides the incoming line into two groups....one for the phones,
- the other for the modem.
-
- Depending on the application, the exclusion modules range in price
- from $15.30 to $59.95. Proctor's minimum order requirement is
- $50.00, and they do take VISA/MasterCard.
