Phone interference with wireless connection

I just installed a Linksys wireless router and acess point. It works fine except that the 2.4GHz phone next to the remote computer with the wireless NIC routinely disconnects the network whenever a call is received or made. Unfortunately the location near the computer is the only reasonable place to have a phone in that room. The phone is older and doesn't have the ability for me to change channels, and I'd rather not try resetting the channels on the router and all the other computers.
Does anyone know of any newer wireless phones on the market that won't interfere with the wireless connection?
 
Have a Linksys wireless setup. Purposely got a 900 Mhz cordless phone so interference wouldn't be an issue. They also have new 5.8 Ghz phones but I have yet to experiment with them. Hope this helps!
