That's essentially no different than having multiple phones at varying 
locations throughout a home or office.

Multiple phone lines have a different purpose -- e.g., to be used for 
different things at the same time. 

We have six two-line phones at various locations in our 3000 square foot 
home/office. There is no problem. I don't see why splitting a single 
phone line to accommodate various devices would be a problem (unless, of 
course, you want to be on the phone at the same time as you're sending or 
receiving a fax). I don't think fax machines or fax modems deal with call 
waiting too well, either.
