Thanks Eric, but I just talked with a computer rep at Forest City Surplus and he thinks that's what I already have. Are you talking about the little item that plugs into the telephone jack wall outlet that makes it two jacks? If so, I already have that. I realize you provided the link below, but I'm in the process of updating my G4 and can't check on the web at the moment. Pls let me know.
