Yes I suspect the GS ATAs (286/486) have the same option and have a
simple single pair analog RJ11 jack for an analog device.  Might be
even cheaper and definitely lower profile than a full blown phone.

Besides that I have had bad luck with GS phones (based on the BT102s)
losing registration.  This was quite some time ago but the ATAs never
gave me any problems.
