Do you know if asterisk (freeswitch, 2600hz, etc.) can do this over 
bluetooth?  I've seen some base stations with wireless extensions that 
can connect to a landline and/or pair with a bluetooth phone that would 
ordinarily be your cell, but it would be kind of neat if it could be 
asterisk without the ATA intermediate or even a direct hardware connection.
