Thanks, that's exactly what I meant. Never mind! It would have been cool to use
my mobile as a handset to my home phone line, maybe one day!

I was aware of this through the Wiki, however this is of less interest to me
though I can see it would be cool to come home, plug your phone in to charge,
then receive all calls through asterisk... 

Thanks for the info,

Chris
