Sounds like you want a RJ-11 Line Splitter, also called a Dual Jack Adapter. Try electronic parts stores or Radio Shack. It plugs into the phone socket and allows two phone lines to plug into the Adapter. The important thing to remember is to plug your computer into a Surge Protector with 2 phone plugs. The modem line from the computer should plug into the surge protector, then a second phone line from the surge protector plugs into the Dual Jack adapter. The reason is that electrical surges can come through the phone line as well as through the power line. That is how one of my brothers-in-law lost his computer.

Now that I have had time for second thoughts, I think that I should point out that new Christmas computers being hooked up to the Internet often need a number of security programs for firewall, anti-virus and spyware. http://www.uant.net/index.html is an interesting site that carries some free programs for all this.
