When looking for the telephone splitter jack mentioned in the above keep in
mind there are two basic types.
1. Splits the line but gives one of the split jacks priority over the other
jack.
These types have led(s) on them indicating which jack is in use.
2. Just a splitter, no led(s) and does nothing more than split the line
between the two jacks. This is the cheaper priced of the two types.
Your application will work with either type but I would use the cheaper one,
no led(s), since you are not trying to give the laptop or the actual
telephone priority control of the jacks. K-mart and other major department
stores usually sell the splitters as well.
