Same way you connect - plug a phone line into the netbook. But if you're asking if you can both use the line at the same time, no - not if you only have one incoming line.

Actually if it's a netbook chances are that isn't a phone jack...but an Ethernet jack.

Wow, I was just thinking the same thing.

Never even thought of that.

the reason I thought of it, was although my laptop has a modem jack, it seems rare even in full size laptops like mine; and netbooks are very skimpy little fellows, so I imagine, at the least, a modem would be an option- if even that.

You know what? I've never even seen a netbook up close.
