Too weird a combined featureset. Especially the cordless phone bit.
It's certainly an... interesting featureset. I certainly wouldn't denigrate it, for the same reason that I don't denigrate the effort that our ISP (Andrews & Arnold, who design their own hardware when necessary) is putting into trying to find an efficient single-box solution for IPv6.
