If there were anything "Readily available" that would allow two or three cell numbers to look like "RJ-11 land lines", there are any number of uses (this was my first choice, but can't find anything like that) My customer "needs" (thinks he needs) more lines then SBC can give him "NOW" Fixed cellular would be ideal, just can't find anything.
