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.
I believe Tony also has a NetCommander which would let him select which
remote system to connect to and, with a few SS relays, even remotely turn
the selected system power on and off.

With an acoustic coupler, or with a direct connection? Do cordless
handsets carry the entire spectrum of sounds a corded phone does?

Sure
. . . but, the handsets don't fit acoustic couplers very well.
There were "road warrior" acoustic couplers that would fit a lot of
things, there are cables for some cellphones, etc.
The real way to go is to wire a 2.5mm plug onto the cord of a handset of a
POT. Using that as the headset for a cordless or cellphone gives you a
REAL handset to talk with, and provides a proper fit for the built-in
acoustic cups of most Bell 103 modems.
'course you COULD go direct connect, IFF your phone company has
started to comply with Carterphone V Western Electric.

Are cordless phones truely full-duplex, or are they more like
loudspeaking phones whee a local voice input disables the speaker output?
That is not a problem for voice, of course, but it is for full-duplex modems.

Actually I have 3 of them. One is the 16 port model (with 16 RS232
ports), the others are the fixed-configuration 6 RS232/4 Centronics models.
But they do not solce the cabling problem. Nor do they have enough ports
for all my classics...
