I used to extend do something similar using a BT Diverse DECT cordless
socket, it was fine for fax machines and for what i needed it for
which was a sky box to be able to dial in, though due to DECTs
inherrently low bit rate you wouldn't achieve fast transfer speeds.
If I had to do it again i would use something like the one for all
mains telephone extension:

The guys at satcure are pretty trustworthy and they reckon you will
get about 42kbps on a 56k modem which isn't bad.
Of course use of dialup these days is a crime!

and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million
machines in use worldwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note
that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers
alone do not denote a higher life form."
