Yes, I notice that the Grandstream Handytone-286 has a "Offhook Auto- Dial:" field in the Advanced Settings. These HT-286 cost $30-$33, so if a person was starting from scratch that might be a good route to go, thought I haven't tried the HT-286. I have an old SPA-2002 connected to astlinux supplying Caller*ID to my Directv receivers, so I simply used the SPA-2002's unused second line to provide my Doorbell 'hotline' function to astlinux.
