We use the Dock-N-Talk at our office. We purchased a TDM with 4 FXOs, the first three go to PSTN and the fourth into the Dock-N-Talk. Right now I have the users choose to use the cell service by prefixing the outgoing string with a certain digit; they can remember when it's better to use the cellphone as opposed to PSTN. I just Dial out of a different Zap line, it's all seamless to asterisk. All the special features the Dock-N-Talk provides are hard to access, IIRC, and just muddy the fact that it provides a dialtone and takes dtmf, leave it at that ;)

The only problem I discerned was a SLOTHLIKE dial speed. Seems the dock-n-talk sends dtmf at a rate of about 1 tone every 800 or so milliseconds, which adds to the overall connect time staggeringly.

Is anyone familiar with cell phone switches that allow routing cell phone calls through in-home wiring? One example of these devices is the Phone Labs Dock-N-Talk. It says it keeps your cell charged when you are home and connects your cell (for incoming and outgoing calls) to your home wiring or cordless phones.

But it also has features such as allowing speed dialing and voice dialing from extensions if your cell phone has those features. So I'm not sure if the device offers a fully compatible FXO signalling.

I'm currently running Asterisk with 1 POTS and 1 VOIP (via Sipura 3000) lines coming into Zaptel FXS modules, and then I have two FXO modules for two extensions.

I'm thinking of doing away with the land line. Should something like the Dock-N-Talk allow substituting a cell phone line for the POTS line?
