Unless it's a double jack - meaning 2 independent jacks, I do not
know of any way that this could be done. All telephone jacks have
only 4 wires, which means 2 lines.

At one time I tried searched for a similar splitter, adapter, but
most people at Radio Shack and elsewhere, looked at me "phunny".
There are 2-to-3 adapters, with provide line 1, line 2, line 1+2
jacks. No third line here. Most phone devices use only line 1,
unless it's a 2 line phone. So whatever you plug into to jack uses
only line 1.
Maybe he never used the 3-rd line.
