Plug VGA extension cables into both computers and either run them and the 
monitor into a switch box, or plug the monitorinto the extension cable for 
the computer you want to use.

[linux]    [monitor]   [windows]
|______X       |         X ____|
              X 
         [switch box]

Plug the monitor into the extension cable (X), or plug it and the 
extension cables into the switch box.

And put a modem in your linux computer, and a phone splitter Y.

This is how I use the same monitor on the rare occasions when I need to 
use the windows computer. (Extension cable - we gave our switch box to a 
friend).
