Not cell, but landline VoIP, yes. I can connect one to my router and it 
would work.

I tried with a younger cousin, a phone with buttons that does pulse 
dialing. It worked. Which means my ISP or the router manufacturer 
implemented pulse dialing logic into the home router.

So if you connect a cellular box with an rj, intended for rural homes, 
to a rotary phones, you would get a rotary phone in the cellular world.
