i am needing a fairly cheap internet connection that allows me to be on the internet while not clogging up the phone line at the same time. Does anyone have any suggestions or good ideas?

Well, inexpensive is the kicker.

Seems like you're sort of limited to the following :

1) Pay for an extra phone line.
2) Cable modem connection.
3) DSL connection.

The cheapest is just to get a second phone line.

Good Luck.

You could also get ISDN, which is somewhat faster than an extra phoneline.

About ISDN:

http://www.isdnzone.com/5minguide.htm

What it costs I cannot tell you, I live in Holland. You should check with your local phone company.

The advantage of ISDN is that you do not get another company, and you DO get extra phone lines, or fax if you prefer that.
Disadvantage is that it is not as fast as DSL or Cable, and you pay by the minute.

You should decide by looking at what you need. If it is just that the telephone is free while internetting, ISDN is a good solution. Do you seek fast internet, you should go with DSL.
