It will still TAKE messages while your on the internet.

The advice is to get your messages first because, when its active and you have a message, you don't get a dialtone. Instead you get a "You have messages waiting in your mailbox" voice and then a dialtone.

This may cause your modem to think "Oh the phone's in use...I can't dial out". So it would make you unable to dial the internet phone number.
