She may be able to get an adapter plug which are sometimes available for
connecting such phones to RJ45 type cabling in business premises where the
building has been wired through for computer LAN, and some of it is used for
phones. Every desk then has two RJ45 sockets on the wall, and an adapter
plug is used for an analogue connection.

However I am not sure if the adapter has the capacitor in it. :)))
