An apparatus (102, 104) for connecting communications devices (110) to a mobile communications network (106) using a mobile telephone (104). A serial interface (112, 114) couples the mobile telephone (104) to BORSCHT means (204) that provides BORSCHT functionality. A two-wire line port (116) couples the BORSCHT means to an analog communications device (110), such as a POT, a fax machine, or a computer modem. Conversion means (202), coupled between the two-wire line port (116) and the serial interface (112, 114), converts the digital signals from the mobile telephone into two-wire line signals, and vice versa. The communications device (110) can then place or receive a call over the mobile communications network (106), using the mobile telephone's radio unit (208) to establish a wireless connection, in the same manner as if the communications device were connected to a wireline service.
