But Mark has already said he has no power available to power the 
cordless phone base station in the box where the cable comes to on the 
outside of the house.

I suppose a compromise might be to drill a hole from the box through the 
house wall (I think Mark said it was on his garage) and extend the cable 
inside to where there is power and a cordless phone base station could 
be located and powered. But make sure you don't buy a 2.4GHz cordless 
phone which uses the same band as home WiFi does.

Cheers/2

 Ed.
