The router could then be configured to relay incoming calls to

programmed to relay to another POTS line


I like it, so you could make your chargeable calls from home to your 2nd
home, which would in turn force the 2nd home to make its chargeable
calls to some fixed number, killing two birds with one stone ...


Thanks, I shall have to study that in a bit more detail. Incidentally,
making the requisite number of calls from my main home isn't a problem
because all our (free) evening and weekend calls go out via BT -
