Second reason is I can't see leaving a computer on continuously just to
use the phone.

I'm wondering if this wouldn't be a good use for a tiny, stand-alone PC
in a little box, no keyboard or monitor, say a 4-line LCD display and a
few buttons. Someone could build something like this on a single board
using ASICs for next to nothing, to power stuff like this that requires
an always-on computer.

"In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I
will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the
population into concentration camps and turn the country into a
wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do
that. Let ME do it.'"
