This is one of the things that Blue Tooth promises - all electronic and
communications devices automatically form into an ad hock network whenever
they come into each other's presence (about 10m) and (according to rules you
or your communications company sets) they route your data/transaction/comms
via the most appropriate device in the net.

Blue Tooth chip sets are already cheap and are targeted to be under $10 by
the end of this year.

Subject: [EE]: Anybody ever thought of making this?


Anybody ever heard of, or thought of trying to make a home phone line
interface for a cell phone?

This device would provide the home line with a dial tone and accept the
DTMF information and then dial the cell phone and "link" the two
together, and on the other side, provide a ring when a call is comming
in.

With free nationwide long distance being offered these days for a decent
amount per month, why have a land line?  If I could slip my portable
into a "base" station and it provide service for my internal phone
system, I'd buy it.

Anybody?

John C.
