Kieth, there is a router device which allows you to plug both your pc and
your Braillenote in at the same time. I had this problem of 2 plugs and one
soccet and the technitian who was coming out to do some other work
recommended this router and it worked beautifully.
I would be willing that is all you would need.
I don't know the name of the device but any computer store should know
about
what you are talking.
Good luck.
Mary Ellen Earls
