That may not be effective either.  The coffee shop I frequent has a
2.4 GHz cordless and their Airport goes down completely whenever it's
off-hook.  Doesn't matter what channel they select.  I assume that
it's a problem with the phone, but the management isn't interested
in getting a different one....

Wireless is great enough that I'd rather just get long phone cords
than do without.  Luckily my old cordless phones aren't a problem....
