Thanks Frank:

To summarize the link, it is news article about the RCA 23200RE3 Cell =
Docking System.
It is a system the is compatible with many cell phones from the major =
makers with a charging stand and a cordless phone.  You can use the =
cordless phone to dial or pick up phone calls from a land line or the =
cell phone that is in the cradle.

RCA's link is =
http://communications.rca.com/en-US/ModelDetail.html?MN=3D23200RE3
Looks like the street price is $100-$130

One of the advantages listed in the article is that you can set the =
cradle in a spot where your cell phone gets good reception instead of =
loosing reception as you move about the house with it.

It also has the ability to have two additional cordless handsets (RCA =
23210RE3 $50-60) attached to it so that you are not limited to one phone =
in the house.=20

Not quite what I had envisioned but more flexible in some ways, =
especially if someone wants to have a mixed cell and land line system.
I was thinking of one that would have a similar cell base but that would =
pretend that the cell phone is a standard phone line  (ie disconnect the =
phone wire from the outside and plug into the system that is already =
there) but this is probably more useful to more people.
