What a waste of effort, bandwidth, and money.  There are a dozen services
out there that can do this far more efficiently and for a lot less money.
 You will be using bandwidth in both directions and double the channels
(one call in, forwarded call out).  It will increase the latency by a lot
and the chance of call quality problems is huge.  Call in over a cheap
cable connection, call out on the same, then over a cell.

Concurrent ringing with cells is popular and makes a lot of sense since you
primarily typically answer on the desk phone.  If it's just forwarding,
then just use a forwarding service which will cost less and not introduce
the extra cable network layer.
