I don't think I did anything special.  I plugged the switchbox into the 
wall phone jack and then ran the modem line to the computer.  I also 
plugged in the phone that sits on my desk.  Once call waiting was 
activated it worked fine.  The box itself rings, not the phone, which 
made me jump out of my chair the first time it happened! HAHA  When it 
rings you just pick up the phone to get your call.
