| A DECT phone will do this. Google "DECT phone".

ALTHOUGH WE WROTE about it over a week ago, RTX has just claimed a world
first for its Du@lphone cordless DECT handset. It's the first DECT phone
in the USA, apparently. Plus the company is describing its latest
product as the most 'Wi-Fi friendly' cordless there is.
Basically US cordless handsets operate at both common Wi-Fi frequencies
- 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. But since the FCC approved a new frequency for
DECT back in April [2005], the Dua@lphone works very happily as a
combined Wi-Fi and a cordless handset. As the INQ described here ... Hot
tub version of Du@lphone imminent <http://www.theinq.com/?article=24121>.
We've actually got a price, too. Should be around $149. The guys at RTX
are obviously very busy and don't appear to have hired a US webmaster
yet. Eventually you should be able to buy one of these gismos from
www.dualphone.us or www.cordlessdualphone.com.
The company ain't got www.rtx-america.com going yet, either. Can't
imagine Santa Clara is short of good html jockeys. µ
