Hi all

Does anyone make either on here or off the shelf a 'black box' for connecting a dial telephone to a DECT base station? Someone i work with told me a Rasberry Pi could emulate (??) a person pressing the buttons of a DECT phone to make this happen, so theoretically i could then plug an old dial phone (via its 'black box') into any mains socket anywhere and so long as its in range of its base station it could be used to make and receive calls. Does this sound a doable idea?

Cheers

Mike
