- I think the person you talked with at Illinois Bell misunderstood
- what you wanted. If you want to be able to use voice and data at
- the same time there must be two separate phone lines coming into
- the building.
- The only way to have two separate telephone lines is to pay whatever
- the local telephone charges. Some money can be saved by doing the
- in-house wiring yourself.
