Yes, that's the way things are going.

You can get DECT wireless phone jacks to make your corded phones cordless, but vintage ones will still need to have pulse to tone conversion done separately.
Or you could stick in a switch which will convert LD to TONE . I'd recommend something like a Panasonoic A SERIES ( IF it's equiped with simple tele cards ) or one of the KXT SERIES (308/616) which should be old enough for folks on this site to be interested in,and works with either Panasonoic system or POTS in any port, bearing in mind that the programming phone needsto be a system phone. Or the more modern 2 line ( 206??) which can be programmed with a POT.
Biggest problem with Panasonic kit is translating from text language into engineers speek. ( From memory POTS stands for plain old simple telephone as is a 706/746/232/332 etc)
