Are you sure that wasn't just an answering machine? Answering machines with 4 "in-boxes" are readily available. (the idea is that you'd have on for you, one for your wife, one for each child, etc.)
If you want to be able to conduct 2 different conversations simultaniously, you need a second line (or a sophisicated business system). As was indicated earlier, all the phone jacks in your home have 4 wires leading to them. You are only using 2 of them. So you have the capacity for a second line in your home already. Simply call the phone company, and they will connect the other 2 wires to a new number, and you'll be in business.
