You don't need an adapter. A jack splitter will do the job. All the jack splitters I've seen are wired with all four wires. So plug one into your jack, plug the phone into one of the two created jacks and the phonenet into the other one. All of this assumes that your home is properly wired with four conductor cable. Even when four conductor cable was used, you often find that the yellow and black wires aren't connected to each other from one jack to the next, and it's time for a visit to whatever passes for a junction box in your house.
