My cordless phones have a charger for one of the handsets on the base, and during a power failure that handset will power the base station. The phone shows a message on it's screen to not remove it due to it powering the base station when the power is out. Pretty handy. A dumb old phone as a backup is still good to have around though. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
