Re: two phone numbers on one phone line
From what you have described, AT&T is using "pair gain" which is a way of multiplexing multiple POTS services on a single pair of copper. The analog pair gain system is incompatible with DSL and will hamper high speed dial-up, but low speed dial-up should work fine (like 14.4k normal G3 faxing and C/C machines). Digital pair gain solves those issue and it's compatible with DSL. I'll bet AT&T has you on an analog pair gain setup (or a screwed up digital)!
Here's some info:
