   No, I have a DECT unit with three terminals. But in fact the land line   
   is redirected to a mobile phone, where I run an antispam app where I can   
   see who might be the caller.   
      
   I would like to instead install a VoIP terminal with the correct   
   credentials for my ISP, and have that terminal run some app instead. But   
   I have not seen such a machine. It would save me the cost of the   
   redirection.
