I have this cheapie phone that has a last-number-redial button. I
connect the phone to my modem, and the modem to the telephone line.
Everything is fine when I'm using my phone normally. The fun comes in
when I push the "data" button on the modem. This seems to disconnect the
phone from the line. Unfortunately, the memory for the last-number-
redial seems to need power; it forgets when I push the "data" button.

I've been thinking of getting a better phone (one of Panasonic's
"Easa-phones") that has a bunch of remembered numbers, and was wondering
whether I would have the same problem of forgetting numbers? Is there
some way around this?

I used to have the phone and the modem in parallel and would sometimes
have problems with noise, especially when I hung up the phone.
