Has anybody ever tried interfacing a modem to a
cordless phone handset?
It shouldn't be too hard to use a C/L phone as the wireless link between two
modems.
With an acoustic coupler, or with a direct connection? Do cordless
handsets carry the entire spectrum of sounds a corded phone does?

I was thinking direct connect; seems to me all you'd need is a small matching
transformer and some attenuation.
Bandwidth ought to be good for 1200 bd absolute worst case, but I'd be surprised
if you couldn't go faster. More research is needed...
