NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter
(also called a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on
the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial
splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
