I thought about that one too. It would require internal switches of the
change over type to reconnect MIC and SP to something else. This
'something' will have to have at least a voltage regulator which
provides the 'handset lifted' current and protects the Newton against
the 40V of the phone line. And there are amplifiers and/or attenuators
needed to adapt the phone line levels to the Newton's MIC and SP levels.
May be one would be able to modify a small Audioline phone to be built
into the Newton and drive the internal MIC and SP. However, the space
inside the Newt is very limited.
