Re: Cell phone use with existing home wiring

Err, no, that's just a handset for the phone.

Something like a Dock-N-Talk is more what you're after but that only works
with voice calls.

The trouble is the encoding/decoding/re-encoding that's involved with going
from a modem to a POTS line, into a docking adapter, over the cell networks
and back out to an answering modem just can't be made to work reliably.
It's far better to just have the devices not make the analog call to begin
with and use a TCP connection instead.  Since most cell carriers have data
service options, or most homes have some sort of broadband connection that's
usually a better route.  For those still stuck with using modems there's
really not much that can (or should) be done.  Even VoIP services can't
reliably make it happen.  I own a DirecTivo and a know the pain of having to
keep a landline for it.  C'est la vie.

So look into using your internet connection for the home theatre instead.
