In any case, what rational reason do you have for preferring wired phones?

I have one ISDN and one POTS line. I have a phone in each room. I plan
to use MSN or DDI to allow different rooms to ring on selected numbers
being called. I want distinctive ring for each member of the family. I
want intelligent route selection.

A few DECT phones really aren't the solution. And being able to take a
DECT phone into the loo is a red herring; it only works if you always
take the phone with you on every visit!
