Or you could use the asterisk PBX software on an old PC or other suitable
(nslu2) device.  The trick being getting asterisk connected to the phone via
bluetooth.  I've got a uniden cordless setup that allows pairing a bluetooth
phone with the 5.8ghz wireless handsets but there's not a way to 'hop' over
to the other landline.  Nor is there a way to connect a regular handset to
the uniden base.  There have been various hacks attempting bluetooth
connectivity with asterisk but the last time I checked none really worked
for this sort of purpose.
