jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an 
RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump 
one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex

separate line for the machine.
If the machine is to be connected to a 
multi-line system, ask your installer to 
connect the unit to the last line on the...
