Default Dumb ADSL/phone line question

Hmmm, just food for thought - BT once required that the "main" phone was
a conventional corded phone, presumably because of the "uncertainty" or
unreliability of cordless.

Is this still the case? (that requirement to have a corded phone) or has
that passed with time?


I think it has changed from "thou shalt have a corded phone" to having a
warning on the packing of phones that are not line powered and thus are
not suitable for making emergency calls under certain conditions. I expect
there is a standard wording for this.
