Default Telephone question

Anyone have a clever solution to this problem...

I have a one-line telephone, but two telephone lines in the house.

Is there some way, perhaps with relays to recognize which line is
ringing and have the one-line phone connected to the ringing line?

(It's a honey-do problem... you know... "pretty phone, don't throw it
away" :-)

Search for "2-line switch".

These guys in Taiwan have one that looks to meet your request, and
apparently they'll ship.
