Is there a way I can set up a direct hotline with my elderly mom between my house and her apartment that:

1) is secure
2) no one else can call
3) does not require batteries/charging
4) is immobile and can’t be lost

She has an Internet connection and a cell phone already but often forgets to charge it. Another cell or landline opens her up to 2x predatory junk aimed at seniors

I am thinking like the red Batphone in Batman ‘66

@benjedwards asterisk pbx + ATA + ring capacitor + red dial phone
@benjedwards You should be able yo configure the ATA to dial when the handset is lifted too, so she wouldn't even need to dial numbers.
