That doesn't really meet my needs -- I want to be able to dial-out, and 
have the person on the other end simply be able to push a button to ring 
the doorbell.  The doorbell button requirement stems from the eternal 
hope that someday DHL drivers will be trained to push it just before or 
after they slam-dunk that box marked "fragile", so I can get this box of 
broken computer parts out of the pouring rain when it arrives, and won't 
have to file the insurance claim days later when I find the rain-soaked 
cardboard blob near the culvert.

Sorry, I got sidetracked there.  What I mean is, I'd like to keep the 
doorbell button so that Fedex and UPS drivers can continue to ring it 
and leave when they deliver something -- I think having to pick up a 
crusty, dirty receiver might be a deterrent even to those 99.9% of folks 
who are better trained than a DHL driver.  Shoot, went there again.  No 
I'm not bitter.
